Gongfu and Meditation in Buddhist Practice: A View from Shaolin Temple

Dr. Jiang Wu was recently invited to UC Berkeley to attend a forum featuring the abbot of Shaolin Temple Shi Yongxin from China and served as his translator during the discussion. Entitled “Gongfu and Meditation in Buddhist Practice: A View from Shaolin Temple,” the forum was held in March 19, 2014 and organized by the Institute of Advanced Humanistic Studies at Beijing University and the Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion. This panel was part of a series of events to celebrate the 10th Songshan Shaolin Temple Day established by the California legislature.
