With the amount of time this forum has been up, I'm wondering how many times people have asked you for advice when they write real papers. Well, here's my humble request for information. I know you all have lives outside of this forum, but if you could help me, and anonymous person, I would appreciate it and it'll help you later in life I'm sure.
Anyway, about my paper. I'm currently taking a Comparative Religions class and there's a thesis idea due next Thursday...October 7th. I was thinking about writing about how Shaolin fits into Buddhism. Specifically, my professor emphasizes that one of the 5 precepts of Buddhism is no harm, which is very important. I'm wondering if some Buddhists disagree with Shaolin's learning and teaching of martial arts. And if possible, if there are any readings I could find or any sort of justification (logic would be fine) on why Shaolin Temple can learn fighting...please tell me.
Again, I'd really appreciate any feedback whatsoever. If you believe that this is a bad topic, please tell me that too.
