On the afternoon of May 13th, the 10 day "Silk Road Zen and Martial Arts Transmission, Five Continents Bathing in Zen Wind" European and South American international friends' South Shaolin Zen and Martial Arts Health Culture Experience Tour came to a successful conclusion at the South Shaolin Temple.

At the closing ceremony, everyone watched the activity review video together. From meditation, martial arts, agricultural Zen to calligraphy, tea ceremony, Mazu worship, and more, every experience is unforgettable. International friends have expressed that they have gained a lot and are very touched.

Principal Paul, the leader of the experience group, expressed sincere gratitude to the South Shaolin Temple for their warm reception and carefully arranged courses on behalf of the entire team. He sighed and said that every visit was as warm as coming home. The abbot, Master Kongxing, summarized the event and welcomed everyone to come back to South Shaolin in the future to continue experiencing the unique charm of Zen, martial arts, and health preservation.

It is worth mentioning that both sides have formed a deep friendship for nearly ten years. In 2019, Kong Xing Da Monk was invited by Principal Paul to lead the Southern Shaolin Zen and Martial Arts Troupe to Wales, England for cultural exchange. This friendship that transcends mountains and seas has become increasingly profound through repeated visits.

Master Kong and Principal Paul jointly expressed their hope to carry out more exchanges and cooperation in the fields of physical and mental health in the future, explore new paths combining Zen martial wisdom with modern health care, and contribute more to promoting mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations and people to people exchanges.
