Shi Yongxin originally wanted to go to Wutai Mountain, why did he finally choose Shaolin Temple?

Shi Yongxin originally planned to go to Wutai Mountain, and Shaolin Temple became his second choice, but Shi Yongxin finally chose Shaolin Temple. What Shi Yongxin said is this: The aura of Shaolin Temple is still there, which is why I chose Shaolin Temple. At that time, Shaolin Temple was very shabby and poor, which was in line with my idea of monk life? . This is a passage Shi Yongxin said when he recalled his choice of Shaolin Temple when he was only 60 years old.

Shi Yongxin lives in the north of Anhui, and his hometown borders on Henan, so he has a special plot for monks and is even more obsessed with Shaolin martial arts Shi Yongxin. When Shi Yongxin was sixteen years old, before his parents were distracted, he took a few pieces of luggage to Henan Shaolin Temple for an interview and became a monk. At that time, in Shi Yongxin's mind, Wutai Mountain was his Buddhist holy land and his first choice. According to Shi Yongxin's original plan, Wutai Mountain eliminated him and went to Shaolin Temple. However, starting from Shi Yongxin's hometown, I went to Shaolin Temple first. Unexpectedly, the abbot of Shaolin at that time was impressed by Shi Yongxin's farm work ability, but he felt that Shaolin Temple still had aura, so he decided to stay in Shaolin Temple.

Compared with Shaolin Temple, the Buddhist culture of Wutai Mountain is indeed stronger, and practicing in Wutai Mountain is more conducive to the absorption and inheritance of Buddhist culture, while Shaolin Temple is not so strong on Buddhist culture, but it is indeed the best choice for Shi Yongxin who is bent on learning Shaolin Wushu. Shi Yongxin was very lucky. After he entered Shaolin Temple, the film "Shaolin Temple" filmed by Jet Li was broadcast on major TV platforms. At that time, Shi Yongxin took a bunch of Shaolin monks to strike while the iron was hot around the world to promote Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple's name in the world is even louder.

When Shi Yongxin went to Shaolin Temple, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was already old. After the abbot died of old age, Shi Yongxin's prestige in Shaolin Temple increased greatly, and he became the head of Shaolin Temple, naturally inheriting the status of the abbot.
