Description

This beautifully illustrated multicultural children’s book follows Ming as he discovers the birth of Kung Fu.

After Xiao Ming participates in a martial arts exercise at school, his parents take him on a travel to the Shaolin Temple—the birth-place of kung fu—within the central Henan Province of China. The temple is positioned within the forests of Shaoshi Mountain, one of the crucial seven mountains of Song Mountains. With a history of over 1,500 years, the grand Shaolin Temple has precious stone-carvings in its many buildings. On the Warrior Monks School (Wuseng Yuan), he sees monks practicing kung fu and jumps in to be informed some martial arts skills.

He then goes into a stone cave by mistake and meets a monk who seems to be Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, in keeping with legend. Bodhidharma takes him onto the mountain to peer peach flowers, small birds and big trees. He tells Ming how the Shaolin Temple become the birthplace of Zen in Buddhism.
