| | Shaolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Bodhidharma's ministry at Shaolin formed the basis for what would later be called the Zen or, in China, Chán (both terms derive from the Sanskrit term Dhyana, which means meditation) school of Buddhism. | | | The Shaolin temple (Chinese: 少林寺; Hanyu Pinyin: Shàolínsì; literally "Young Forest Temple") is a Chinese Buddhist monastery famed for its long association with Chán (Japanese: Zen) Buddhism and martial arts, and is perhaps the Buddhist monastery best known in the West. | | | He is said to have been either a Persian or South Indian monk who travelled to China in the 5th or 6th century to teach Buddhism. |

| | Shaolin kung fu—more precisely Shàolínquán or Shàolín wǔshù—are those Chinese martial arts that trace their origins to Shaolin, be it the Chan Buddhist Shaolin temple and monastery in Henan Province, China; another temple associated with Shaolin, or even wandering Shaolin monks. | | | According to legend, Bodhidharma came to Shaolin to introduce the form of Buddhism we know as Chan. | | | The Shaolin monks have made some fame for themselves through their fighting skill; this is all due to having obtained this manuscript. |
