At this time funds for the reconstruction of the North Shaolin Temple are coming almost entirely from the Songshan Shaolin, which in turn gets its revenue mainly from ticket sales at the famed World Heritage Site Temple. But, Songshan also supports an orphanage and numerous other cheritable causes. Thus, reconstruction of the North Shaolin Monastery is slow. When finished around one hundred monks will live there. It will be a major center of Buddhism and traditional Shaolin Kung Fu in the world, second only to Songshan Shaolin Temple. But, more funds are needed to continue and finish the work.
