Non Chinese Warrior Monks
Hi:
In this forum, posted some months ago, someone said that there is no foreign warrior monk named in Shaolin Temple.
However, in 1997, 3 Argentinians were initiated as warrior monks in Shaolin Temple, all of them disciples from Shi Yong Kan (Lu Hai Long), trained at Shaolin Shuiku Wushu Xuexiao (Shaolin Dam School or something like that):
Shi Yan Bao (Carlos Aleman), Shi Yan Long (Jorge Bussi), (the third I don't remember the name).
I think they were the first foreign warrior monks in Shaolin Temple.
You can get some info in:
www.slkf.net (chinese)
www.shaolinsi.com.ar (spanish).
Best regards.
claiming to be non chinese monks...
I've heard of one myself. I guess until if ever it's verified you cant really dispute it. I've also heard that for the first time in shaolins history that the abbot has been diosmissing or stripping monks of titles etc, because of behaviour unfit. Better 10 troups you know have your back, than 500 so-so's ha.

The aim of a bodhisattva is akin to
Quote:
"remaining unitl can take all sentient beings with"....
but all monks are not bodhisattvas. Many of the monks are more like Arhats - deep in a world of personal asceticism. They don't remain. They go on. Their aim is the martial arts, not necessarily assisting others to nirvana. This is still a practice of Buddhism, in a way. Many warrior monks leave the brotherhood and take their martial arts study elsewhere. They go on too. Case and point, ex-monk Zhang Lipeng
There are many monks who leave the fold willingly
With Lipeng, it was always his intention, or rather his father's intention, that he lead a normal life following his Shaolin experience.
