Now, say in a few years, after university and a decent knowledge of Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), I decide to go to China to study with the Shaolin, will I be able to just walk right in, drop my stuff off and say 'wut up?' or will I have to go through all sorts of crap with customs and the government controlling who can train?
If I go there, will I automatically be forced upon training under some 'fake' monk from the Wushu Guan, that was only trained by another monk?
I want to have the more all around experience, and I'm not talking about staying there for months, but maybe a few weeks then travelling somewhere to learn. I want to learn about Chan Buddhism too.
Will the Chinese government give me a hard time trying to train in the Shaolin temple?
