North Shaolin Monastery: History, Culture and Reincarnation

By Gregory Brundage

This is the inside story of the vast history and culture of North Shaolin sub-temple of the headquarter Songshan Shaolin monastery. North Shaolin Monastery's location at a critical mountain pass inland from the large Bohai Sea (渤海) bay thrust it into the role of a defender of China again and again during its long and illustrious history. Located on Pan Mountain (Panshan) in Jixian County 95 kilometers east of Beijing and 105 kilometers north of Tianjin the North Shaolin occupies a central role in a largely untold story. This book focuses on the little-known histories, traditions, cultures, rules, skills and disciplines of Chan (Zen) Buddhism which represent the foundation upon which all Shaolin monasteries and Shaolin styles of Kung Fu are based.
