        i tell more later

          and Dengfeng , Shaolin Temple is also included. the ticket's price increasing from 40 RMB to 100RMB. Generally speaking , the abbot of shaolin temple , yong xin should be support it, but not, he fights againest it strongerly! he explained that he don't want others complained shaolin temple only want to get money in the name of increasing the price of the ticket. as the representive of the national commettee, he said, the shaolin temple is the heart area of whole shaolin scenic spots, every year, the average of reception tourists, demestic is million people, abroad is around 200,000. and the ticket is selled by the arrangement department of scenic spots, unified, and only ten RMB in the ticket belongs to shaolin temple , and if the price is adjuest to 100 RMB, most people will misunderstanding, the shaolin temple will be a billionare.it will hurt the feeling and emotion of shaolin as one part of sacred place of Buddhism!

            News from beijing:

            The modernized existence of thousand-year old temple---shaolin Temple ----------the abbot,yongxin became CEO

            Shi yongxin and his disciple be guests in CCTV

            It took around one month to make an appoint interview with the abbot, yongxin.when the abbot cancelled all the cases, facing the reporter , and talked about the future and the passed things about the shaolin temple, yongxin, an- international-star figure , with his face blushing scarlet during talking sth sensitive and exicted.

            yongxin said, the American " Explore" channel just interviewed him in shaolin temple and shoot an episode of some monks ' dayly life.

            In fact, three years ago, " Explore" channel shoot a short film for yongxin, named<<new shaolin temple abbot>>.after wathching the English format of the film, it's amazed people, that the abbot was translated into " CEO".

            No matter where in the kungfu novels or in reality life, tha abbot both is an important personage.But whoever are familar with the history of the shaolin temple will found that as the "CEO" of shaolin temple, it's easier said than done.

            Since the 28th abbot, Haikuan died in the 5th year of kangxi, Qing Dynasty, shaolin was maintaining a situation without a leader, and in succeded 320 years, there is no any abbot. During the middle period of Qing Dynasty, shaolin temple was destroied bi the war and fire.The nearest destroy from now was in 1928, the shaolin temple was fired by the warlord ---shi yousan . the fire lasted 44 days and only some ruins and ashes left...

            in 1942, Henan was suffering a drought disaster.Thousands of people died of hungry.Monks deserted the temple and make a living , only some old monks , who have difficulty getting about and disabbled and little monk---xingzheng, who was explored into a blind by the bandits.So make a hard living in shaolin temple, xingzheng used a donkey and drag the tail of the donkey to carry some coal from the south of the mountain to sell north mountain countryside , everyday with a 100-miles journey to and go .

            During the " cultrual Revelotionary", hundred the Red Guards dashed into the shaolin temple, was about destroy all the buddha figures , all the halls and the stone tablets. As the present old master, xingzheng huged the buddha figure, promising death with buddha together , and sucsessed to prevent the farce of destroy the temple.the shaolin temple was forgotten at some corner, can not take care itself, let along " popularize all living creatures".After the third middle National people's Congress of 11th session , the temple was haddled to monks arrange by themselves. There was about 20 actares land can be cultivated, and also can get some tickets income , so little by little , the temple recovered its activity.

            Afterthat, the" hot of shaolin" is increasing , and the peak time each day can recieved 100,000 times people. and there were many benefactors generous donation, rebuilding the temple. In December of 1986,Master xingzheng became the abbot of the temple.It's a good news for hundred years.

            In 1987, shi yongxin succed the temple after the Xingzheng death of illness, weilding the temple, and changed the wushu team into shaolin wuseng group.Since 1989, the group was invited by many countries and areas of the world, and becoming a "global kungfu hot". in 1999, yongxin became the real " CEO" of the temple , filling with noval ideas in his brain.The ways he did were all considered to be the begiining in the whole buddhism.

            in 1996, yongxin set up the first webside in demestic temple, while at that time , not so many people know internet work.he was the first person moved shaolin kungfu to stage, and the first person to pack shaolin kungfu using stage play." the guys who i emploree are the best ones in the world, such as composer, art designer , and director, some director ever got the reward of Osca", yongxin said.

            As the abbot of shaolin temple, who travaled the farest of the world, he said, his next plan is to show shaolin kungfu in the capital square of each country in the whole world, after leading the group demo kungfu over 60 countries.and prepare cooperation with the Hollywood, to show a " very luxurious" shaolin kungfu film play in American gamble city---Lasvigas.

            Chinese monks will show kung fu in world famous gamble city, nobody can get an idea about that before."CEO" explained, "Lasvigas is a gamble city, and also is a tourist resort, many many excellent plays will show there , there are gathering many tips of art, and i think, it represent one kind of fashion culture of main current of the world".

            shaolin kungfu not only show the confedence , boldness, and also the main menthod of practising Chan-sect.Chan is quiet, while wu is moving. while shaolin kungfu can connected both of them together, for the practiser, you can learn the fighting skilles and also can cultivate one's moral character, so shaolin kungfu can attract many many foreigner;s eyes.

            the No.1 is Chan, not the boxing

            In the March of 2003, Dengfeng government invested 2 0 billion, to pull down and underconstruction the "shaolin country" in a large scale to recover the original stayle and features" the ancient temple hidding in the deep mountain, the clean river grasping shaolin".Shiyong xin and shaolin temple earned an eternal infamy..

            Last year, some medie reported, shiyongxin said he lead the group to go abroad to show shaolin kungfu many times and getting in touch with the main current class of different country. and after the report, yongxin earned another infamy:" the buddhism advacates all the living creatures enjoy the equll rights, why you always mention the " main current""?

            Shi yongxin poured out his grievances" you have to commit the main current sociaty, it truly exists!the society must have different classes. the Countryside people, the citizen, lower governer, the higher governer, all of them didn't stay in the same class.why the China 's Wushu can not enter the Olympic Games??the reason is that it can not enter the main current sociaty.the buddhism from India to China, at the beginning, touching with the emperor---the highest class, main current persons in China, the main current sociaty can lead the world trends.Chinese Embassy and Consulates in diferent country encouraged shaolin temple show itself to the world as much as possiable, because we can directly get in topuch with the presidents, primers, royal familes members, and get along well with each other, making friends, they will flatter all of our activities...we not only broadcast shaolin culture in the world, and also Chinese excellent tranditional culture. some guys misunderstanding me ," all the living creatures are not equall" , in a word, they did't understand what i am talking about".

            shaiyongxin said, another reason is that the tranditional habbit of Chan-sect is facing the main current society, including the middle and high classes of intellectual circles, political circles and business/commercial circles.the Jingtu -sect is facing the masses, and extoling" A mi tuo fo", even the old lady without any education can become a disciple".

            so from this piont , yongxin tabooed the impression of outside only know shaolin temple is a wushu guan or wushu school." the No.1is Chan not boxing".

            Last July, during shaolin wuseng group visiting Toloto , Canada , they were invited and did an experiment by Mentlier school , which is the largest branch of Mentlier school in North America, to see if the kids can recieve the "shaolin kungfu" and " China Buddhism".After 50 days experiment, all kids recieved from primary school to middle school! meanwhile, the school trained the clerks including the higher manager from three banks of Canada, and after training they all expressed the wills to disscuss the future projects".

            The result exceeded yongxin's expectations.Because most of north American believes Christain , Cathlic. At the begiining, shaolin monks were afaid to mention Buddhism, will be refused.But the school activitily requested them not only teach the kids kungfu, but also " shaolin philosophy", use Buddhism ethics to teach students," helping kids to create their hearts, morality and body".

            After the experiment, the general manager of shaolin shiye company, Qiandaliang said, " Mentlier education's theory is "to foster completly character", but in recently found, in the western countries, for the generation with the a background of Christain, it will play an important complement role in cultivating their characters with the theory of Buddhism persuing " brightness heart to see enlightness". to help kids creating a complete characters, what is they are looking for".

            After the first period experiment, at the bottom of October in 2004, the directer of Mntlier school wrote a letter to yongxin and Qian daliang, warmly agree and hope to go on the experiment, and " build an eternal teaching place, offering long-term shaolin and Mentliso course for all people who are interested in ".

            Avoide the reality society is to take the road to one's doom

            Talking with yongxin, there are two sentences he always use, one is " keep to the stand of history", the other is " keep to the stand in the interational ".

            Compared with the time and space, yongxin feels a serious crisis of the decline of Buddhism. although in Chian, there are over 10 billion Buddha disciples, yet for today's China, the Buddhism face the pound of western countries mordern commercial civilization. it's true.yongxin repeatedly said, the soul/spirit os shaolin kungfu is its cultural intention, religion connection.

            yong xin said, now many many people make use of " shaolin " to make money, he feel so angry.In fact, there are around 160 real shaolin monks all together. Because the need of culture exchange in the international , so there are some fake" monk" to " fill in the blank".In a small country, baofeng County, Henan province, there are over 50 fake abbots:the PPcompany of Austria created a fake shaolin abbot, a fake shaolin wuseng group...

            it's the world, we have to face the reality society, can not close ourselvies to international intercourse, or we will lose all our culture , even lose the origin of monks".

            shi yongxin advacated , Buddhism should go abroad, to talk with the masses directly, and will not refuse the disciples and sincerly learner, for example, recieved 300 foreigner disciples once time, the famous actor, Wujianhao, who is from the famous singer team-----F4, from Taiwan.who wants to actor the kungfu film, so he first donated lots of money, and then became the disciple of shiyongxin.and the Japanese idol----longzexiuming and so on.What he did all araised the critical about the seeing through the vanity of the world.

            " keep to the stand of history,china's Buddhism broadcasted always through the best advanced and mordenized ways .Earliest, use paper, copy the buddha verses even arouse the price of thet times paper increasing; and for the Buddha circles, first used letterpress printing/stereotype in whole China, let alone the tablet carving and building towers .Using morden view to see, a tower is an advertisement, to praising a great master's achievement and signal contributions."

            "The reason why Buddhism can be prosperious/flourishing is that it can be growing with the times." yongxin said.

              I find it interesting, from the above post, that Yanmng is not the only one who apparently "rewrites" history.....

              There's a lot in this "Shaolin history by Yongxin". You should pay attention to it.

                        I don't know how relevant this comment is here, but I heard on local melobourne news that one particlaur Chinese assylum seeker ( Chen YongLin) is a chinese democracy advocate seeking political asylum for his position on PRC activity and is now at Australia's refugee law mercy and that of the PRC goons supposedly who may kidnapp his family because of his forthrightedness in voicing his opppostions.
                        Apparently though , there is a whole new democratic movement sweeping China at the moment and considering the tangent shaolin has been on in pursuit of this Unesco heritage staus ap, you have to wonder what that's going to mean to shaolin. Ppl are jmaking some nosie......... and IMO it's a very classic catch 22. The trade agreement for the liberty of expressing the very thing it was all set up by the PRC to oppress since the 4 olds bannenment of the CR and death and torture and jailing of all supporters post 45 Mao believing the threat to his seat of power was justification enough. Funny thing about education and media and maybe shaolin'll get a show in soonish anyway ha???

                        cheers and luck to Shi Yong Xing however he does it.

                              FULL-LENTH ORIGINAL-CREATION NATIONAL SONG AND DANCE DRAMA---<<SHAOLIN IN THE WIND>>WILL ENTER BEIJING IN JUNE

                              As we known, shaolin kungfu is famous in the world, but it is the first time to hear that connecting kungfu with drama together.The full-length original-creation national song and drama---<<shaolin in the wind>>, which is elaborately made up by Zhengzhou Opera Theatre, spending 20 million RMB, will fill in the gaps in the fields.From June 24th to 26th, <<shaolin in the wind >> will be show in Beijing Boli Theatre,tasting the magnificent view of the shaolin kungfu and flying of red sleeves, it will bring to you a special feeling.

                              <<shaolin in the wind>>tells a legend story about a shaolin fighting monk.The drama not only contain the exquisite shaolin kungfu showing and the grand spectacles of wars , but also shows the true love in the world and amorous feelings about the Central Plain.Especially worthy mentioning , the drama keeps on the basis of national drama, conneting dancing with wushu.The spectator not only can admire the dancing style wushu fighting, but also add some consummate skills such as nine-section--whip, double-section stick,and all of which will be showed by real shaolin fighting monks.

                              It's reported the abbot of shaolin Temple----Shi yongxin will be present in the first performance live, tens odd shaolin fighting monks will walk from the accommdated hotel to the theatre, at that time , people can see a special scenery in the street of Beijing..

                              It's reported that <<shaolin in the wind >>performed in Zhengzhou successfully and evoked worldwide repercussions, which is as one of first bath key lists of dramas of "Zheng (zhengzhou city) Bian( kaifeng city)Luo(luoyang city) Literary Excellent Projects" Henan Province .With the full preparation,except hundred actors or actresses and nearly thousand sets of performance clothes, there are ten 14-meter-long container traffic team just for dancing design stage properties.Together there are 293 stage properties , real stone lions , the moving Forest of towers , the automatic flower frame , which can fall down the flowers according to the variety of the story of the play , huge relief Buddha figures, made of glass fibre reinforced plastic , three huge arch-gates,the relief of the mountains and rivers beyond the Great Wall, and four groups of walls decorated by red lanterns and many many huge hard scenery equipments /installations.In addition, to be shocked, there is a huge rock streching through the whole rear stage .when shaolin fighting monks appear on the scence, matching with some modern stage design menthods and lights , they will be changed just like several lines of stone carving sculptures.Because it 's strict to fix the stage equipments and debugging and performance procedure is complicated, so only for arrangement needs around four days.
