From a recent post in the forum, by Sacha:
what is so important ?, to become a shaolin monk (with the kung fu learning and the ascet life) or learning kung fu with the "same" passions than a monk but without the "monk life" engagement ?
Sometimes I don't understand why the ego are so big
If the "butcher" or "cooker" have also a very good kung fu and also a good meannig or "DAO DE" in chinese
do you think lot of people want also to become "butcher" or "cooker" ?
I don't know but I think the most interisting thing is not how is "you're looking or apparence" but how are you inside
We don't take a bottle of water for the bottle, but for the water.
So I think those people wan't to become a monk, most of them, is not for the budhism way but for the "image"
We don't take a bottle of water for the bottle, but for the water.
Brilliant. Absoluely brilliant.
(In America, we do buy a bottle of water based upon the bottle, lol...)
This is really an incredible issue. You have no idea how many emails I get from people, wanting to be a Shaolin monk, or, presenting themselves as being a Shaolin monk.
I find it humorous. And, as most tragedy is comedy in one way or another, sad.
I'm interested to see what other people think of this...
