In the seventh courtyard there is the hall of One Thousand Buddhas. In the old days , Monks practiced martial arts here. Long years of practicing in a squatting position caused the monk's feet to rub 48 pair of footprints in the brick floor. A mural describes five hundred Luohan Buddhas paying homage to Buddha. East of the Hall of One Thousand Buddhas is the White Garment hall, also known as the hall of Wushu Charts. In it are two murals, one describing the thirteen minks rescuing prince Qin and the other showing monks drilling. Franking each hall are wing houses. Along both sides of the Stone Tablet Forest a covered corridor was recently built to house the more important stone inscriptions on the east and a boxing chart hall on the west in which 14 groups of 215 life-size clay fugures demonstrate Shaolin Wushu and legends of monks. |
