Shaolin Trips
By Gene ChingGene Ching collects over a decade and a half worth of research on Shaolin Temple. Ching documents Shaolin s convoluted journey from post-Cultural Revolution ruins to the global Buddhist juggernaut it has become today. Along the way, Ching recounts his personal trips to Shaolin, replete with cultural challenges, comic catastrophes and the occasional flash of enlightenment. With dozens of profiles of outstanding Shaolin monks and masters, Shaolin Trips reveals the stories behind the robes from the perspective of a Shaolin disciple and Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine s Associate Publisher. Fully indexed. 669 pages. Fascinating for the general reader, Shaolin Trips is a must for the martial artist. Meir Shahar, Tel Aviv University, author of The Shaolin Monastery: History, Religion and the Chinese Martial Arts
