Look, Arhat,,,
I'm not asking about people who belive and follow the "dharma" getting married or having girlies.
There are such things as monastaries. In Buddhism there are people who are ordained and have taken vows not to marry. Some of the hardcore Buddhist sects restrict their followers from looking at women at all, much less talking to one.
Nothing you say, and none of your opinions can change that !
Unfortunately for Shaolin "monks" they are ordained by one of these temples, one of these secs of Buddhism that restricts marriage and girlfriends.
I'm not talking idealistics. I'm talking black and white. They have done the equivalent of saying to god, "I will not get married or have a girlfriend", and then broke that vow. This is not about the term "wuseng", or "heshang". This is a promise they have made to themselves in front of their icon and founder of all they believe, and then they have turned against that.
I just said this in another post, but Shi Xingpeng, got married, lives with his wife in New Jersy, and renounced his vows as a monastic. Now he goes by Zhang Lipeng, his Chinese name. He couldn't lie to himself infront of Buddha, he couldn't lie to those who look up to him and continue going by that "title".
That must say something for these other guys with girlfiend / wives. Not only American monks but also the Chinese such as my shifu.
