The Shaolin Temple, one of the most famous Mahayana Buddhist monasteries in China, was built in the fifth century and has became a symbol of Chinese kung fu.
Shi Yongxin, originally named Liu Yingcheng, was born into a family in Yingshang, Anhui Province in 1965.
To bring Shaolin culture to the worldwide Shaolin enthusiasts, Shi has promoted various Buddhist activities and engaged in domestic and foreign cultural exchanges.
