少林寺的一炮走红，在影视界起到了“羊群效应”的效果，于是《少林小子》、《少林俗家弟子》及至后来的《少林活宝贝》、《少林足球》、《新少林寺》 等等应运而 出，通过共振原理，借助少林寺我们的少林电影事业空前繁荣(当然作品好坏留待你评说)，少林寺也因为影视的传播冲出亚洲走向了世界！

闲话休扯！就此打住，回到少林寺的话题。少林寺的名气，我想大家有个共同的看法，那不是很大，而是相当的大！所以“奥迪Q5五岳之旅”经过登封时，拜访少林寺，那是必须的内容。于是俺也随大部队一睹“少林寺”之风采！
藏经阁
后人们“面壁思过”，或者“面壁十年图破壁”中的“面壁”均来源于达摩的这个故事。
鼓楼和钟楼，很多寺庙也会有。
到了元朝初期，由于蒙古异族来统治华夏，因而民间很不安宁。如何统一思想，的确颇费当局者脑筋，那时还没有共产主义理论，即使有，也不可能来 个：大家好好干，以后按需分配。因为那毕竟和蒙古统治者的利益相悖。因而忽必烈采纳大臣建议：“以儒治世、以佛治心”，于是派福裕来少林寺当方丈，并封他 为“都僧省” (相当于全国佛教协会会长)，统领全国佛教徒，这就迎来了少林寺的另一个高潮。在福裕教化下，中原地区终于接受了元朝的管理，福裕圆寂之后，被封为晋国 公，这也算佛教界空前绝后的一封吧。
至于“被废”就不在此多说，只说最近的一次毁坏事件，民国时期的1928年，军阀石友三火烧少林寺，把天王殿、大雄宝殿、法堂和钟楼等主要建筑统统付之一炬；许多珍贵的藏经、寺志、拳谱等化为灰烬。
了解了这些背景，我们就此走进少林寺，一睹其真章！
进入少林寺景区后，雨水仍然纷纷，路边杨柳也依依
“少林寺”三字乃康熙大帝之御笔
下车后，首先来到这个吃饭的地方，一尝少林“斋菜”的味道。
吃完饭，开始参观。雨虽然很大，但人仍然很多，给拍照造成很大困难。“少林寺”三字乃康熙大帝之御笔。
走进古刹，银杏古树参天，但人可谓密密麻麻。

这是锤谱堂，据说是藏少林武谱之地，所以这个“锤”就是捶打–武术的意思喏。你可能发现这个照片都是仰拍的，是啊，如果不仰拍，脑袋就会很多，当然里面空间也很局促，给你拍照的空间不是很大，不得已而为之。下面照片也是同理。

旅行贴士：
1.少林寺门票价格100元，包含所有景点门票，但不包缆车的价格。
2.从登封去少林寺，最方便最便宜的应该是8路公交车
3.禅宗大典的门票尽量找网上比较靠谱的订票机构，我们这次花了比B区还少的钱买到了A区的票，连包车大姐都说我们的票简直太便宜了。
The Shaolin temples (Shàolín Sì) are a group of Chinese Buddhist monasteries in Henan Province famed for their long association with Chán (Zen) Buddhism and martial arts. Thanks to Kung Fu movies, they are probably the most familiar Buddhist monasteries in the West. Shaolin is situated on China's central Taoist sacred mountain, Song Shan. The name "Shaolin" means "Young Forest".
History
Shaolin was founded during the Northern Wei dynasty in approximately 497 AD and remains one of China's oldest Buddhist temples. It was said to have been used as a home by the Indian monk Batuo during the thirty years he spent preaching Nikaya Buddhism in China.But the most famous name associated with Shaolin is that of Bodhidharma or Tamo (pinyin: Dámó), an Indian monk who travelled to China in 5th century to teach Buddhism. A traditional story relates that Bodhidharma sat in meditation facing a wall in a nearby cave for nine years. Bodhidharma's ministry at Shaolin formed the basis for what would later be called the Zen or Chán (Meditation) school of Buddhism.
After entering Shaolin, it is said that Bodhidharma found the monks out of shape from a lifetime spent in study and meditation, so he introduced a regimen of gymnastics which later developed into kung fu.
The monks studied the movements of animals and copied them - crawling snakes, leaping tigers, dancing mantises, and so on. The exercises evolved into a form of self-defense, as Shaolin was isolated in lawless territory and often prey to bandits. (This was a common problem for ancient monasteries, which was met in Egypt by strong walls and in Ireland by round towers.)
From childhood, Shaolin monks subjected themselves to rigorous training five hours a day, every day. Only after 20 years of this could they be considered fully fledged monks, by which time they could perform incredible feats. Examples range from breaking concrete slabs with their fists to balancing on one finger.
The martial arts taught at Shaolin had a spiritual and moral dimension that was considered equally, if not more, important than the physical. The monks spent as many hours praying and meditating as they did in kung fu training. They adhered to a moral code in which self-defense was the only acceptable reason for fighting and killing one's opponent was to be avoided if possible.
Popular tales illustrating these ideals include the story of one monk who fought a thousand enemies with a stick while pretending to be drunk, and the cook who kept a horde at bay with a poker at the temple gates while the other monks continued their meditations undisturbed.
These rules were bent a little, however, as emperors and peasants sought their help in battle. Shaolin Temple's military fame began during the early Tang Dynasty (618-907), when records describe Shaolin monks saving the life of the future emperor Li Shimin (the monks were said to have gotten in and out of the fort before anyone could even raise the alarm) and assisting in his fight against renegade forces.
Once enthroned, the gratified emperor enlarged their compound and gave permission for some monks to continue their military training. Shaolin kung fu reached its peak during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), when several hundred Shaolin monks were given military status and weapons were added to their training. Some monks personally led campaigns against rebels and Japanese bandits. By this time, the Shaolin had developed their own unique style of martial arts, known as Shaolinquan.
The original temple survived being sacked and rebuilt many times, but the Manchus destroyed the compound in 1647 and massacred almost the entire population of monks. Shaolin was not rebuilt until around 1800. The most recent destruction was a fire set by the warlord Shi Yousan in 1928, which destroyed the buildings and many priceless manuscripts of the temple library.
At the Cultural Revolution, the temple was sacked and the monks arrested or chased into the countryside to become peasants. The teaching of kung fu was banned in China until the 1980s when, partially thanks to the immensely popular film Shaolin Temple, there was a resurgence of the art. The old masters were allowed to teach again and the government reopened Shaolin, mainly as a tourist attraction.
Kung fu remains incredibly popular in China today, with films featuring the tales of Shaolin monks often making up the bulk of offerings at the cinema. Many Chinese children want to study kung fu and the Wushu Training Center was opened at Shaolin to meet the demand. Few of them want to become monks, however; most dream of being movie stars.
Today's robed residents at Shaolin are highly skilled fighters, but cannot be considered genuine Shaolin monks, for the spiritual side of their discipline is now virtually absent. In fact, the present abbot has a distinct reputation for aggression. There are still genuine Shaolin monks in China, but they keep a low profile and are not to be found at Shaolin.
Nevertheless, the ancient temple remains a center of pilgrimage for martial arts enthusiasts, a good place to get quality kung fu lessons, and a popular tourist destination.
What to See
The present Shaolin temple complex dates mostly from after the 1928 fire. It has been gaudily repainted and filled mainly with souvenir shops, but there are still several sights of interest.The first temple courtyard contains steles, one of which celebrates the visit of American kung-fu masters. Two of the halls in the back have delightful murals, one of the few things that haven't been repeatedly restored. The monks depicted in the murals look more comic than threatening.
The Qing murals in the White Robe Hall depict the Rescue of Emperor Tai Zong by Thirteen Monks, showing typical kung-fu moves. The Thousand Buddha Hall contains a Ming-dynasty mural of 500 arhats. In the Hall of Wen Shu are deep depressions in the stone floor caused by monks standing in the same place and practising their stance kicks over and over again.
About 200m up the hill from the temple is the impressive Forest of Dagobas (or Pagoda Forest), with hundreds of stone pagoda memorials erected in honor of Shaolin monks from the 9th to 19th centuries. Each one is inscribed with the names of the monk and his disciples. Here the students of the temple practice martial arts in their orange robes: one exercise involves fighting while balanced halfway up the sides of the dagobas.
You can continue the ascent up the mountain by cable car or stone steps from here. The main attraction is the cave where Bodhidarma is said to have spent nine years motionless facing a wall in a state of Zen enlightenment. For a few ¥ you can look at it from the road through a high-powered telescope.
