The secret world of Shaolin: the first novel by best-selling author Bernhard Moestl


A mythical monastery in the holy mountains of China, in whose main temple a troop of Buddhist monks practise martial arts. And these monks are actually supposed to reveal something about the meaning of life. But how are you supposed to understand anything when daily life consists of hard exercises, hardly anyone speaks your language and then to boot the master disappears? Best-selling author Bernhard Moestl succeeds in combining the Buddhist and Doaist sources of Asian wisdom with the ancient awe-inspiring backdrop of the Shaolin Monastery and presenting a special way to let go.
