The Longxing Monastery Of China - are

Bodhidharma was a Buddhist monk who came from Southern India who is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China in AD and also as having started the physical training of Shaolin monks, which would eventually lead to the creation of Shaolin Kung fu. In Japan Bodhidharma is known as Daruma. He is regarded as the first Chinese patriarch of Chan Buddhism. The Jiaqing Chongxiu Yitongzhi specifies that this monastery, located in the province of Henan, was built in the 20th year of the Taihe era of the Northern Wei dynasty , that is, the monastery was built in AD. As the center of Chan Buddhism , the Shaolin Temple attracted many emperors' attention in China's history. According to legend, Emperor Taizong granted the Shaolin Temple extra land and a special "imperial dispensation" to consume meat and alcohol during the Tang dynasty. If true, this would have made Shaolin the only temple in China that did not prohibit alcohol. Regardless of historical veracity, these rituals are not practiced today. The stele does not list any such imperial dispensation as reward for the monks' assistance during the campaign against Wang Shichong , only land and a water mill are granted.
