Hey guys, maybe you can help with something I've been pondering. I know that Shaolin is called Sorim in Korea and Shorin in Japan and Okinawa. What I wanted to know is, if the Shaolin temples all communicate and have cooperative relationships today and/or in the past. Also, if they traditionally had similar experiences interacting with secular individuals and governments,i.e. supporting individuals who might have been instrumental in championing their interests.
Finally, I'd like to know if they all or for the most part had/have a martial tradition. I know that even in the Shaolin temples of China that martial arts played a miniscule role compared to most of the spheres of monk life. Thanks for any contributions to this discussion; now I'll get out of the way and wait for your pearls of wisdom.
