hi all,
I wondered if anyone has any facts on the recent history of Shaolin temple?
I've heard stories that the shaolin monks are a bunch of non-monk dudes that were placed there by the government , and other similar stories, yet I've seen pretty dedicated looking monk dudes like Shu Xi and shi De Yang (and his generation of practioners)
- Where did these guys come from? who taught them and who taught there shifu's ?
- What happened to the Shaolin Temple during the cultural revolution?
- Where has the tradional lineage come from when you go back through the 80's, 70's, 60's...??
I'd be really happy to hear (preferably non speculative) info on this if anyone knows it...??
cheers,
