Embark on a Shaolin Journey: Kung Fu, Meditation & Cultural Awakening
Are You Searching for a Place Like This?
There are times when our days are packed with activity, yet our nights feel strangely empty.
Our phones have everything, but our hearts feel unsettled.
We want to pause and catch our breath, but the world seems to never allow it.
Are you wondering:
Is there a place without noise or performance, where you don’t need to “become someone”?
Just a real way of living, where you can stay for a while—maybe get closer to yourself.
If a picture forms in your mind—mountains, temple bells, people living mindfully—
then perhaps, you’ve been searching for Shaolin all along.
What Is Shaolin? Not a Myth, But a Way of Life
What Is Shaolin? Not a Myth, But a Way of Life
Many people know Shaolin from martial arts movies and thrilling action scenes.
But real Shaolin is not a stage, nor a legend.
Shaolin Temple carries a 1500-year history as the birthplace of Chan Buddhism and martial arts.
What has truly endured through centuries is: A daily rhythm—from movement to stillness, from dawn to dusk.
You might see:
Monks practicing standing meditation early in the morning, quietly cleaning the courtyard in the evening;
Young monks eating simple vegetarian meals mindfully and silently;
A master patiently guiding guests from afar, teaching how to breathe word by word.
This is not a show; this is their everyday life.
Our Shaolin Temple experience is not a demonstration, but an invitation to truly live within this rhythm.
Flexible Shaolin Experience: Choose Your Own Duration
To better serve those seeking authentic Shaolin life, we offer flexible program lengths.
You can join us for any period from 7 days up to one month, choosing the duration that fits your own pace and intention.
Whether you wish to experience a short immersion or a longer, deeper stay, the choice is yours.
This flexibility allows you to balance your life commitments with a genuine chance to live Shaolin daily life.
Why Open This Program Now?
Our goal is not commercialization, but meaningful cultural exchange.
More and more people seek authentic Shaolin life—They arrive at the mountain base, unsure where to begin.
Interested in kung fu and Chan Buddhism, but unsure where to find a genuine path.
They ask: “Can we stay for more than just a few days?”We listened carefully.
If we don’t open the door wider, Shaolin will remain only a dream for many.
So we decided:
No quick fixes or flashy training camps—just genuine periods of time to live Shaolin life, with flexible durations.
Continuous enrollment lets you choose your own pace.
What Will You Experience Here? Not Activities, But Life Itself
You might wonder, “What will these seven days involve?”
It’s not a packed schedule, nor a checklist.
You will live in sync with the monastery’s daily rhythm:
- Early wake-up, standing meditation and basic exercises, quiet breathing
- Simple vegetarian meals, eating mindfully without many words
- Daytime practice: kung fu, sitting meditation, calligraphy, or listening to teachings about Chan Buddhism
- Evening chores, chanting, early rest
No tasks, no right or wrong, only space to slowly settle into your own pace.
Who Is This For?
No Buddhist faith or martial arts experience is required.
You just need one intention:
To get closer to something real.
We especially welcome:
- Urban professionals feeling overwhelmed, seeking quiet and authenticity
- Those curious about Eastern wisdom, ready to experience kung fu and Chan beyond books or videos
- Families, parents and children, or couples wanting meaningful time together, learning patience and discipline
- Older adults looking for natural ways to nurture body and mind
- Anyone searching for life direction, wanting to listen to their inner voice—even for just seven days
What Might You Gain?
Everyone arrives with different questions — and leaves with their own kind of clarity.
But gently, day by day, something shifts:
- Children learn focus, discipline, and self-awareness through calm rhythm
- Adults overwhelmed by modern life find space to slow down and reset
- Families and couples deepen connection without distractions
- Seekers of Eastern wisdom experience teachings lived, not just spoken
- Older adults reconnect with body through gentle movement and meditation
And perhaps, most simply...
You leave feeling lighter—not because outside changes, but because something inside has shifted.
A quieter breath, a steadier step, a clearer sense of who you are and what matters.
