The abbot's room

is the place where the abbot lives and manages affairs in the temple. On September 30, the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign (AD 1750), Emperor Gaozonghong of the Qing Dynasty used the abbot's room as his palace when he visited Shaolin Temple, so it was also called "Dragon Court". The room was first built around the early Ming Dynasty. It has been repaired over the years and the existing building is a relic of the Qing Dynasty. In the center of this room is a chicken-blood stone relief "Buddha Lectures" presented by believers in 1995 when the Shaolin Temple celebrated its 1500th anniversary. On the inside of the north wall is a genealogy of Shaolin Temple passed down from generation to generation.

Dharma Cave

The place facing the wall is called Bodhidharma Cave. Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, meditated on the wall of this cave for nine years from 527 to 536 AD. Bodhidharma Cave faces the southwest. The entrance of the cave is built with an arch made of bluestones. The cave is about seven meters deep and more than three meters high and wide. There are three stone statues on the platform inside the cave. In the middle is a seated statue of Bodhidharma, with his disciples on both sides. According to records in "Shuo Song" of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small stone pagoda on the upper left side of the cave, but the pagoda has long been destroyed. There are four words "original face" inscribed on the east wall of the cave. On the stone wall to the west of the cave, Su Minwang, a native of Changheng County in the Ming Dynasty, inscribed a Qijue poem: "Who can be poor when you come to the West to be careless? It takes nine years for the five-ruf peak to work. If the Tao is truly translated into the world, Bodhidharma Cave should owe it to itself Yuantong". There are also four characters "facing the wall and cave in the sky". Next to the "Facing the Wall Cave and Heaven", it penetrates from bottom to top, sinking into a deep gap with unfathomable depth. It is said that the left side of Bodhidharma Cave is the "Fire Dragon Cave". Before Bodhidharma arrived, the fire dragon lived in the cave. Since Bodhidharma entered the cave and faced the wall to practice, The fire dragon fled through this gap, so the cliff was called Dragon-raising Cliff.
