The Dark Side of Shaolin Temple

[LFJ]

iron cross-

the point is to change the current state of temple affairs, which can only come from inside the songshan temple and through government control. which means a new abbot and a new emperor.

[Iron Cross]

It would be nice to change the current state of things. However, the grip of politics and money may never let go. I doubt you'll ever find a mainland chinese political figure that volunteraly gives us a money making opportunity because its the right things to do.

[onesp1ng]

and like why do people hand over their money even when knowing it;s wrong?

dooped!!

Oh boy, if Uwe or Doc rule China/Shaolin, I'll be worshipped within a pantheon of Russbo Dieties.

I win either way...err...I mean...absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Having reviewed the potential honor of either ruling China or Shaolin I have to decline for the following reasons on both counts:

China is not an immigrant country. No law or regulations are set permitting immigration. A foreigner is only allowed to reside here for reasons of work, study, travel, or marriage over a certain period of time.

Here is some information for your reference:

As for ruling the Temple it would be detrimental not to mention the fact that Foreigners can only own small parts of an entity in China, meaning I fork over lots of dough but cant make any decisions.

Additionally I would be disqualified automatically because I am not in it for the money. Foolish me...


Doc, any comments?

The Dark Side of Shaolin Temple

As long the source of the Teachings is neglected and valuable knowledge is viewed in an epidermic way illussions shall always be present

[doc]

I think there's great valuable knowledge in viewing young women in epidermic ways, without the hardship of suffering from preconceived illussions.

Illussions. Whatever the **** those are.

Guess I'd make a good abbot, huh? Wonder what I look like in yellow. Think it goes with my head?

When one makes clear his interest furthermore his actual motives from the begining in a relationship he acts with respect towards the person he is willing to be related with and hiself

Illussions. Whatever the **** those are.

Sumerised Terminology of Illussions based on types:

1.Lies that one is not aware of

2.Lies willfully chosen to be followed

It depends on how one "observes"/"understands"/decides to see the Shaolin Way

Dark Side..............

The issue of morality which is the real issue here is one of the individual mind and heart. Obviously there seems to be a lack of insight into the real substantial cause and effect relationship between what a person, monk, abbot or Temple does and what can be the long term, short term effect of such things. I am not suprised. It seems to me that whenever a spirituality becomes a ritualized, institution of "religion" it can easily be corrupted. This is because of the inherent powers that religion can have over people's minds, lifestyles. But it has always been the dharma of religion that if there is no morality at the foundation it will become an beautiful vessel with a hole in the bottom so that all the water of spirit will be lost.


By the way does anyone know anymore about the case of the poor monk who killed himself, at Shi Guolin's Temple. His name was Heng Shan. I was thinking of training the Luohan 18 Hands Chin na there but I don't want to train at a place that has a bad history.

out of curiosity what exactly are you using the term epidermic for librarian? i assume it refers to the epidermal layer of cells (i.e skin) but that doesant seem to fit in with what your saying, at all
