[GeneChing]

Shi Yanzhou is behind it? I'm not sure I know him...

[Lao Long]

Hi Gene,

I think that you misspelled the man’s name.

Shi Yan Zhuo.........

[UK MONK]

on that website there is a pic of a monk with some fat beard. But when i met a monk and i asked him why they shaved there heads and he sayed because they belive that all hair is distracting so why has he got a beard.
:confused:

buddha bless you :D

[GeneChing]

Is he that one form Greece? I didn't find the pic. Can you post a link?

[MasterKiller]

You talking about this guy?

[GeneChing]

I didn't think his name was Yan Zhuo, but I can't remember what it I thought it was now. I must have it written in my notes somewhere. He's the monk that has often poured tea for me when I've visited Deyang at the temple. He's very nice. And a huge monk. He doesn't speak english though, so it would surprise me if he was behind this site.

[Lao Long]

Hi all again.

The man in the link that MasterKiller provide is Shi De Chao, the one with the beard. Not Shi Yan Zhuo.


As for UK MOnk question about hairs. Just remember Ven. Bodhidharma my friend.

[richard sloan]

De Chao is a sweetheart.

He is also a tremendously powerful calligrapher.

We have a huge example of his work, a giant 'Bha', in the back of our temple, executed in one stroke.

[Lao Long]

Richard,

i agree with you. Shi De Chao is a unique person. And i think is a great Master.

[Lao Long]

You can find all about Shi De Chao, in http://www.aboutshaolin.com. Just search for him.

Hi all

Since 11/6/2003 Aboutshaolin (http://www.aboutshaolin.com) is not working? I made this question to the webmaster of the site.

The reply is that the site will change server and will be online soon maybe in the next 24 hours. So, all the members of Aboutshaolin.com don't worry.

[herb ox]

looks like the migration was successful - great looking site...

The feature on Shi Yong Zhi - I have a book of his paintings of Damo... a great artist indeed. This is one site going into my bookmarks...

[Lao Long]

You have to check this out!!! It is unique.

Hi all, i think that English Shaolin Portal (http://www.aboutshaolin.com/) worth a little bit more support from all Shaolin fans.

Don't you?

[stimulant]

shoalin kung-fu still exists....but does anyone still believe that real shoalin monks do??

[Lao Long]

I wish to tell everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

[norther practitioner]

but does anyone still believe that real shoalin monks do??

No, there all just figments of your imagination.:rolleyes:

[Lao Long]

To stimulant

shoalin kung-fu still exists....but does anyone still believe that real shoalin monks do??

Shaolin kung fu (Wu gong) still exists.

Real Shaolin Monks? Did you really believe that to a Monk of The Shaolin Temple is a joke? Shaolin Monk is a title that everyone who's staying in the Temple can have.

On the other hand, if you ask about Shaolin Masters, the answer is still YES there are.

Shaolin Temple still exists? This is the most serious question that someone can ask.

And the answer is YESSSSSSS. Shaolin Temple is Alive. Many people don't accept that or even don't like that but it is a fact.

[stimulant]

Lao Long...

I refer to (solider / warrior) shaolin monks.

lets put it this way...

in late 70'2 early 80's there were a couple of old shoalin monks in shaoilin temple.....then by the late 80's and early 90's there were hundreds who had been there '....all there lives'.

Many eat meat, and are married (on in sexual relationships)....hardly tradtional for a monk. And most (soldier monks) dont do traditional shaolin kung-fu.

I know there still tradtional shaolin kung-fu, there is lots...but you'll have a hard time finding a monk who knows it.

i promise you that this is all true.

[blooming lotus]

you promise ha? I'll give you Shi Goulins' phone number....maybe you could promise him...he did claim to teach the all for many yrs....:rolleyes:






some people are just so freakin ignorant you .....gotta wonder

indeed they are.....like the masses who believe all that glitters is gold and all who have a shaved head, are chinese and wear shaolin robes and teach shaolin kung-fu in 'shaolin temple' or under authority from shaolin.

[blooming lotus]

in addition, to prior comments, point of note...Guolin is next in line for abbocy

[Lao Long]

Dear friends,

i think that we used to treat the word SHAOLIN as something common. It is my personal opinion that Shaolin is something really "Holly" for all of us. So we really must feel this way when we talk about it.

Shaolin Masters? YES you can find some. Shaolin Wugong( kungfu) ? YES you can learn. Shaolin tradition? YES you can find it.

BUT you need DEVOTION and many, many years.

[Lao Long]

Hi all.

Just published in Aboutshaolin (http://www.aboutshaolin.com/weblog.php) a great article.

Why must use the term Gongfu and not Wushu for Shaolin Martial arts? You want to find more about? Just visit the English Shaolin Portal (http://www.aboutshaolin.com/weblog.php).

[norther practitioner]

but you'll have a hard time finding a monk who knows it.

:rolleyes:

Yeah, real hard, there are only a few in the US that know traditional....

Oh, and I guess the folk masters in and around Dengfeng don't know any traditional, or monks like one of Gene's shifu's De Cheng, or any of his deciples....
