    umm

    the tibetan monks are of the vajrayana sect, they are usually regarded amongst buddhists as being the spiritual masters of the world

    it goes like this, all sects of Buddhism belong to one of three yanas or vehicles.. Hinyana (lesser vehicle), Mahayana (greater vehicle) and Varjayana (diamond vehicle)

    shaolin belongs to the mahayana sect, which is why a ****load of buddhism in this world belongs to mahayana

        hrmm

        alot of your questions can be answered by simply navigating through the site joe

        but..im bored so..

        "also is shaolin chan buddhist?"

        ch'an or ch'anna is the phonetic spelling in chinese of the sanscrit dhyana which means meditation just as Zen(japanese) is to dhyana

        chan buddhism didnt directly originate from china(from the buddha actually..)..but basically its chinese since it was brought to china by bodhidarma who in turn taught chan teachings to the monks, who then just began to build upon the principles he set forth

        "also this vehicles you talked about are they like a rank are some thing one is better then the other ?"

        no, they are different..thats it. different means for different people, but in the case of mahayana and varjayana the differences are slight in most* cases(of practice and goals)

          In my experience this is not true at all, and an odd compairision at that.

            If you come to think about it, the two groups rarely, if ever, had a chance to meet each other. Things have opened up recently, but, the costs of travel are fairly high.

                  hehe

                  i just wanted to post one of my oldschool dickhead posts..

                  anyway, not neccesarily..maybe in this day and age but, in actuality the tibetan lamas were also famous for their martial arts, like in my system of hung ga we have some lama kung fu in it, also hop ga is descended from tibetan kung fu

                  and, it was the tibetans who helped the manchus take down the ming refugees in the southern shaolin temple

                    I was impressed with the Tibetan monks that I met. In a scholarly type of way.

                      actually that was a joke, but come to think of it i have heard about tibetan gongfu before.
