In addition to Chinese Kung Fu by the monks of the Shaolin Temple, Monday night’s performance at SOU featured music, history, traditions, and dance from Huaxia Orchestra of Henan Museum, a museum that I have actually been to when I was in Zhengzhou.

Tonight this same show is taking place in the LaSells Stewart Center on the Oregon State University campus. If you are in or near Corvallis and plan to go, get there early. In Ashland the seats were filled within about 2 minutes of the doors opening and people were turned away.

Monks from Shaolin Temple perform at Southern Oregon University

Once upon a time (less than three years ago) I visited the Shaolin Temple in central China. Last night they returned the favor and paid me a visit in Oregon.
