  • A must Read this Christmas

    A must Read this Christmas

    For a great read this Christmas and for a great cause! Head along to the Newgrange Hotel in Navan tomorrow evening and get a signed copy of The Coalman, The Dragon and the Buddha, by Sifu Nick Costello, from the Shaolin Buddhist Temple in Slane.

    “One great lesson was that Lung Ying was not just physically-based but could also lead you to the path of discovery, not of the body or mind but of something wonderful.” – The Coalman, The Dragon & The Buddha

    Sifu Nick has put pen to paper with only one goal in mind – to bring the work of the Academy to a much wider audience than ever before.
    ‘The Coalman, The Dragon and The Buddha’, is part biography and part inspirational text. It is the story of Nick’s journey so far and an expression of the knowledge, wisdom, kindness and love he found along the way.

    This book will challenge you to accept and release the negatives in your life while providing you with some simple tools and some daily practices cultivating mindfulness, compassion and a return to the love you deserve.

    All profits are in support of the Lung Ying Shaolin Buddhist Temple, SOSAD (Suicide support and prevention), and The Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre.

  • Mr Chui – Qi Gong Master

    Mr Chui – Qi Gong Master

    Mr Chui is a Qi Gong Grand Master who is visiting the Shaolin Buddhist Temple at Rosnaree, Slane, Co. Meath.

    He has been practising Qi Gong healing for thirty-two (32) years with the Tai Wu Qi Gong Association in Hong Kong. He has been in Ireland since 17th October 2014 and has been actively healing at Slane and other locations since his arrival. He leaves us to return to Hong Kong on November 17th but we are lucky enough to have him with us for the upcoming open day on November 16th where no doubt he will be actively ‪‎involved‬.

    Nick will be signing copies of his acclaimed book The Coalman, The Dragon and the Buddha at the Shaolin Open Day. Come along and grab your copy of this ‪must-read‬ true story of the events that led Nick (a Liberties man) to travel to Hong Kong in search of enlightenment.

    A great day out for the family and a brilliant opportunity to get to know your local health practitioners and experience what they have to offer. All in the serene settings of the Shaolin Temple and its surrounding zen gardens.

    This is a prelude to the Shaolin Natural Way Festival 2015
