Shao-Lin Monks to Cast Spell on Sofia

Society | May 18, 2006, Thursday // 00:00

Some twenty monks from the world-famous Chinese Shao-Lin monastery will dance and show off mastership in the heart of Sofia.

After bringing to Bulgaria rock legends such as Deep Purple, Saxxon, Uriah Heep, Nazareth, Kavarna's mayor and Man of 2006 Tsonko Tsonev has arranged the monks' performances in both the capital city and the coastal town.

The Sofia event will be held on June 7, and the next day the show can be seen in Kavarna, some 70 km north of Varna.

Shao-Lin monks master Chinese ancient Kung Fu - 1500-year-old art developed by the monks at the Honan Temple for health, mental and physical conditioning and self-defence. The tough curriculum in the bosom of Tibetan mountains encompasses empty hand, animal and classical weapon styles, breathing and meditation.
