Shaolin Kungfu & Culture Foundation, Inc.

The purpose of the teachings of Buddhism is to enable all people, regardless of their current life condition, to fuse our lives with the life of the Buddha and experience the Buddha nature that exists within our own lives to achieve true happiness.  This process employs three different steps: First, we purify our lives, second, we erase our negative karma, and third, we experience enlightment.  In short, the ultimate goal is to create a truly peaceful society.  At the Shaolin Temple, the theories and philosophies of Chan Buddhism are introduced to practioners of Shaolin martial arts to employ a more disciplined mind and body.
