Henglin

Henglin (1865-1923) was a noted Shaolin Kungfu monk and Chan master in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He took tonsure in Shaolin Temple and delved into Kungfu practices. Owing to his proficiency in Kungfu, Henglin was appointed as the instructor of Kungfu monks. In the turmoil of war during the early Republic of China, Henglin led a warrior monk group and defeated bandits in Shaolin areas. He was commended and awarded with medals and inscriptions presented by authorities.
