China’s Kungfu master heads to World Cup final
With nillions of people around the world fixated on World Cup matches,
soccer has found another unlikely fan in the head monk of China’s famed Shaolin Temple.
Abbot Shi Yongxin will fly to Germany to watch the World Cup
soccer final at the special
invitation of FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
The abbot said the FIFA invitation was thanks to the growing influence worldwide of the Shaolin Temple and Shaolin kungfu.
