“If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.”

^ I like the Einstein quote. Buddhism is essentially athesitic, both rational and mystical, it seeks a balance between the empirical and the intuitive. There is a lot to admire about it - more so than Judeo-Christianity-Islam. Among any of the major religions, I think Buddhism has the most redeeming qualities, if for no other reason than the fact that it has never claimed to have exclusive rights on 'The Truth'.

Chinese Buddhism is somewhat different to how the western world and India view Buddhism, they have Bodhisvattas who stay behind in this world to help people ascend and a very extensive mythology in relation to the heavens and earth it's not particularly athiestic.

larusso_stomper that would be an excellent experience.
You should check out shaolin journey on youtube. A group of friends went to shaolin to train kung fu and video taped it. It is very well.

what a fucking sell out
how can he even be called a shaolin monk anymore? what he does goes against the very essence of what is shaolin

he must be laughing at all the dumb white kids that pay ridiculously for his classes
MORE CHI? lol more cheating

it will never have the same traditional substance like in china

it will slowly get dissolve with mixture and culture..

western culture will never .. fully understand the martial arts..

i wnt b suprise some big chunky white fag or black will claim he is a shaolin student and walks into fight competitions like mma or etc
and get his ass kiked
and puts down the name of shaolin true killing moves


soon.. in respect other will take and make it their own
which is not a good sense
coz misintrepetation will set in

I'm off to train with the Shaolin in their Yantai temple in April 2008. I'll film and upload to spiked.

As for this guy being a sellout, I wouldn't say that. The whole essence of martial art in the eyes of the shaolin is the expansion and sharing of knowledge, its not some exclusive club.
