Shaolin Temples are officially traditionally not accepted for women**. This is because in the traditional view of Buddhist temples, men and women have different conditions and environments for their practice.
However, with the change of society and the gradual rise of the concept of gender equality, some temples have also begun to open up to women. It is important to note that this policy may vary from temple to temple.
In some Zen temples, especially some independent monasteries or temples, it may be easier to see openness to women**. This trend of openness may be adapted to the values of modern society, and some Buddhist communities may adjust this policy according to their own traditions and needs.
However, openness to women** is not a common phenomenon, especially for temples with a strong martial arts tradition, such as the Shaolin Temple. Traditionally, the Shaolin Temple has focused on martial arts and monk practice, and its martial arts have always been male-dominated. This tradition was formed over a long period of time, so the Shaolin Temple may be less open to women**.
In general, if a woman wishes to study Xi or practice at a Buddhist temple, it is best to check with the specific temple before choosing one to understand its policy towards women**. In modern society, some Buddhist groups may be more enlightened and pay more attention to the needs of female practitioners.
