    Red Mountain Shaolin Temple



    A Legacy in the Making
    Who We Are:
    Currently operating in Chandler, Arizona, our mission is to improve the health and happiness of all those who visit through the distinct practices and culture of Shaolin. Our intimate and welcoming services and events are open to all who seek to improve their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

    Our temple complex, planned for construction in Northern Arizona, is currently in the concept phase. We have undertaken this mission, with the blessings of the Venerable Abbot Shi Yongxin, to establish the first officially sanctioned branch of the world famous Shaolin Temple in North America. We hope to complete the first phase of this plan by 2026.

    Greetings,

    It is not large enough for growth. There should be plenty of room for modernity. Overall, a good idea with poor, nostalgic, execution.

    Shaolin is not in the structures. It is in the heart.

    I wouldn't like the location , it would be too cold for me . I like the valley of the sun down in Phoenix .

    One time I drove to tortilla flat az and had a vivid dream of building a Shaolin temple in that area and having a place like shi dejian .

    I like the weather in the valley . I would actually like to live in China except for the fact that there wouldn't be Phoenix Az. weather .

    So I was wondering can you go live at a shaolin temple for the rest of your life until you die ? I have a paycheck but the world isn't a good fit for me . I need two references and an emergency contact just to rent an apartment and I don't have anything like that . I do have a big paycheck , medical and dental and funeral burial etc. . I am also allowed to live in other countries . just not a good fit for society .

    Bad weather is better than bad people. You're lucky a shaolin temple is moving so close. You should just do the kung fu hermit thing and find a cave within walking distance (that's easy to heat) and do your circle walking for hours a day in front of their gates to show them you have fortitude until they let you in...

    Yes bad people are the worst . Bad weather is also the worst.

    You want me to wait outside like the movie american shaolin ~ I like tho monk yaba that doesn't talk .

    Injured myself doing yoga ~ pinched a nerve in my lower back ~ feels like my toenails are being ripped off with plyers ~ It's too painful to wear socks so I have cold feet in the winter and when the sunshine hits my feet it feels like knives are stabbing me in the feet .

    Stopped circle walking due to severe unbearable back pain started working really hard in the bagua forms and tai chi forms ~ it's really no fun in this southern Oregon weather with no heat ~ after I take five breaths in my warm clothes during my forms I start sweating ~ it doesn't really ever get below freezing where I'm at and there is a bunch of humidity ~ so it would actually be better if it was below freezing so the humidity wouldn't be so bad ~ I am constantly cold and wet

    my back hurts if I stand or sit so I have to lay down ~ I got a reclining chair that I can lay back in but it makes the pinched nerve worse so I can't sit there either .

    Started putting less effort into doing forms and more effort into doing yoga ~ it just works better in the messed up weather condition ~

    bad weather is every bit as bad as bad people ~ the majority of my life I have been crippled by extreme cold to the point of being unable to function ~ it's a poverty thing, you wouldn't understand ~ that's why I like phoenix ~ other people complain about the heat and I just saying thank god it's not cold ~ I would be better off at a southern california temple than at norther arizona ~ but I don't like socal either because it's not phoenix .
