The Red Mountain Shaolin Temple is a non-profit organization with the mission to improve the health and happiness of all those who visit through the distinct practices and culture of Shaolin. We have chosen to undertake this mission because we have personally experienced how truly beneficial these practices can be to a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By constructing a temple in northern Arizona, we can ensure greater accessibility to Shaolin culture in the Western Hemisphere and hope to make Red Mountain Shaolin Temple the penultimate institution for Buddhist, martial arts, and meditation study in the United States. We undertake this mission with the blessings of the Ven. Abbot Shi Yongxin as an officially sanctioned branch of the original Shaolin Temple in Henan, China.

​

The temple complex is currently in the concept phase with a completion goal of 2026.
