I have a simple question, but I’ve been confused on the topic…
What and where were the Shaolin temple(s)?
and when?
My limited understanding is that the first was in the south, it was destroyed, then the next was in the north, it was destroyed, then the monks moved south again. I don’t believe this to be totally accuate. Canton, Fukien, Heinan?
Obviously, one of the temples still stands, and has been re-opened to the west. Which one is it? Was it re-built, or is it an original?
Thanks in advance.
