CHINA'S home of kung fu, Shaolin Temple, will set up a Zen hospital to treat patients with tranquil martial arts and the temple's secret tonic.
The Shaolin Medicine Hospital would be built by the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in Henan Province, where the temple has stood for more than 1,500 years, said a monk named Shi Yanlin. Shi will soon head the hospital, Dahe.cn reported today.
Shi said the temple has planned the hospital for more than two years, and doctors would treat diseases by guiding patients in Zen meditation, teaching them kung fu, and feeding them healthy food.
It will at least take two years to build the hospital. The temple has been training doctors among its monks since 2007 in traditional Chinese medicine and western surgical skills.
The hospital will be run as a charity, with free diagnosis, massage and acupuncture, Shi said. Medicines will be sold at cost price.
The temple has also been fighting legal battles to put its brand "Shaolin Medicine" on coffee, instant noodles, and tonic water. A Beijing court ruled against the temple's request last month.
