Shaolin Temple Article

[RAYNYSC]

Anyone read the article in this month's issue of Inside Kung Fu on the Shaolin Temple?
It's titled China's Temple of Doom.
It's written by Brian Gray all I'm saying is if what he wrote is true the Shaolin Temple is in disarray. Just like anything else when it come's down to money chance's are that greed will get the better part of you.

Though it seems to be messy, my friend (Xu Jian Lou) a chairmen of the association there confirms that the abbott is attempting to remove the marketing calamity and make it more peaceful as in the past.

However, given Yong Xin's background he may not be the most trustworthy. Being more into business than anything.

He will be travelling to the US this year with the Abbott of the White Horse Temple and my friend may be more will come of it then.

I guess I will find out more during the Shaolin Wushu Festival in September this year. Til then the commentary is neutral on the matter

The Abbot and the Shaolin Temple is a very
interesting subject.
The Abbot is the CEO of the Shaolin Temple Inc.
He could do what ever he wants to do.
He does not have to do what you want him to do
or what I want him to do.
He does his thing not our thing.
He definitely has at his disposal 2 million
tourists a year.
That is the question?
Should the Shaolin Temple be religious or
should the Shaolin Temple be Kung Fu.
What is what and which is which is very interesting.
We are observing history in action.
We cannot be participants.
We can only watch as the Shaolin Temple is being transformed into something that the Abbot want's.
The Shaolin Temple is his not mine not yours.
