Introduction
During the Tang Dynasty, the second Patriarch Huike prayed for Dharma from the founder Damo here, and offered his severed arm as a symbol of faith. Nowadays, the temple named Lixue Ting enshrines a bronze statue of Damo, which is said to have been cast during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The shrine is adorned with a plaque inscribed with the words "Snow-sealed Heart Jewel" written by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, displaying the grandeur of the place and its sacredness. It was renovated in 1980 and has become a place of daily worship for the monks. Address Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province
