Read the eyes. They truly are the windows to the soul They do not lie.
Shao Lin Temple is a commercial enterprise that sells its Kung Fu brand for profit. The monks can marry, eat meat and act tough all in one day. A commercial enterprise with a profit motive does not good monks make. We were not impressed when we visited there a couple of years ago. The real Kung Fu activities occur at our beloved Mount Emei and Mount Wudong. The abbot of Shao Lin Temple has had a reputation of being mister Kung Fu tough guy and so I would not be greatly surprised if the rumors were true.
Disappointed is not the word we felt, it was disgusted!
