    You really need to read throughtout the site. And if you have, do it again, and again, and again; until you get the point. Your 16-17 years old; don't miss out on that. Psychologically most westerners are not ready at that age to commit themselves to monastic life. You have an idea about what it's going to be like at Shaolin. You think it's going to be fun and enriching; and it will be at first. Then homesickness sets, after that you realize how much you love your family, and you wish to see them again. These are only some of the emotions you will have to deal with, a small fraction. This is the unglorified side of things. Did you know that society thought war was once glorious and beautiful, and an honorable thing to do. Then the first photos of the American Civil War were shown and people began to realize that things are not what they think at least with regards to war. But it's the same with lots of things; in fact with almost everything.

    But I think you need to experiece it regardless of what you are told. This was told to me too, but I went and had to discover it for myself; and I wouldn't change that for the world. Peace my friend, peace.

      Fa Hui, once you reach a certain level of attainment, touching is allowed inside church.

      And will someone please play "doc for a day" with deathpsythe? I've got to start packing.

              I recognize that email address. Just couldn't figure it out. Where the hell did this come from. Now, I see.

              I got one of those mass mailer "I love you, pass it on to a friend" emails from him.

              Thanks. Appreciate the thought. And follow Fa Hui's advice. He's been there and back.

                  I'm sure each monk has their own opinion regarding homosexuality...

                  What has that got to do with you learning gong fu anyway?

                  If you really want your own shaolin monk, you will probably have to go to US, Europe or China. Maybe there will be a seminar in Canada. Then you'll have to spend years building a relationship or whatnot before you can even think about discipleship. And the odds for becoming a disciple aren't good. aren't good at all. you should think hard if that's what you really want.

                  Then again if you're interested in Buddhism there should be a monastery nearby.

                  You have your WHOLE life ahead of you to do this. Why not finish school first, seeing as you've come this far, and then see what you want?

                  Shaolin will always be there. You have plenty of time. Take it slowly, one step at a time. And as you gain more experience, you might find that your priorities change, or don't, either way, you will be in a much better position to make a decision.
