Dharma Cave

    Dozens of meters away from the top of the Wuru Peaks, there is a natural stone cave, 5 meters in depth and 3 in width, named “Dharma Cave”, where Dharma had spent nine years sitting in meditation, facing the wall, as the legend goes. It is said that out of long-term sitting, the shadow of Dharma was cast onto the wall of the cave and left a vivid image of a figure there, even with the pleats of clothes vaguely seen, like a light Chinese painting. The stone bearing the shadow image, called the Dharma Shadow Stone, was later dug out to be cherished in the Shaolin Temple by monks of later generations for fear of possible damages.
