Sri Lanka's Ambassador to China Dr. Palitha Kohona and the Chief Monk of the Shaolin Temple in China exchanged ideas for cooperation between the Shaolin Temple and Sri Lanka, including visits by senior monks, student exchanges and the establishment of a Shaolin Centre in Sri Lanka.

Ambassador Kohona visited the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, Henan Province and was received ceremonially by the chief monk Shi Yong Xin and Deputy Chief Monk Yan Pei.

“He was treated to a specially prepared Shaolin vegetarian lunch to experience the Shaolin culture. Shaolin monks are vegetarians.  The Shaolin martial arts practicing monks also gave an awesome performance specially for the Sri Lankan Ambassador's delegation,” the Embassy said in a statement.

    Well done, a multi cultural cooperation to open up the narrow mindset of Sri Lankan.

    Better establishing the Shaolin Temple than re-grouping LTTE by RANIL WICKREMASINGHE. All temples and religious bodies are prevailing to promote PEACE
