Shaolin temple opening in Berlin
The largest Shaolin temple outside of China has just opened in Berlin:
"The ancient order of the Shaolin fighting monks have a new home in the German capital after the largest Shaolin Buddhist temple outside China opened in Berlin on Thursday.
The entrance is guarded by two golden lions, similar to the type which adorn the doorway to many a Western Chinese restaurant. But apart from the gleaming representations of the king of beasts at the front, the building does not draw much attention to itself. However, the simple brick construction in Berlin is the biggest Shaolin temple outside China. Shaolin is a school of Buddhism, founded in the middle of the first millenneum in the Henan province of China. Over time, the form of kung fu practiced there became famous all over China and later, the world."
