Kunming Shaolin Temple

Kunming Shaolin Temple is located in the center of Guandu Ancient Town, Guandu District, Kunming City. With the Jingang Pagoda as the core, it consists of the ancient buildings of Miaozhan Temple, the ancient buildings of legal temples, the ancient buildings of Tuzhu Temple, the buildings of Guanyin Temple, and the cultural square around Jingang Pagoda. It also consists of the meditation hall, lecture hall, Buddhist chanting hall, martial arts hall, museum to be built in the north and west of the ancient buildings of Miaozhan Temple, and Kunming Shaolin Culture International College (formerly Pioneer Middle School) located in Guandu Town. On November 24, 2008, Guandu District of Kunming City and Songshan Shaolin Temple signed a trusteeship agreement at the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, stipulating that Shaolin Temple will send monks to Kunming Miaozhan Temple, Legal Temple, Guanyin Temple and Tuzhu Temple. The ancient temple is managed and given a certain space for the construction of the inheritance and development of Shaolin culture here. This is the first time in the history of Shaolin Temple that other temples have been entrusted. The signing of this agreement marks the birth of "Yunnan Shaolin". On December 13, 2008, Shaolin will send more than a dozen monks, with scriptures and Shaolin Chan, Wu, and Yi Zong, to stay in four ancient temples. Just like when Buddhism came to the east, the trusteeship of Shaolin Temple will not only polish the signboards for the four ancient temples, but also bring them advanced management models and sophisticated cultural heritage. After the official takeover, it will be managed according to the Shaolin Temple's philosophy of governing the temple and management mode, combined with the local reality. The Shaolin Chan Wu culture, which has existed for more than 1,500 years, has taken root and sprouted by the Dianchi Lake, which is like spring all year round.
