May 2002
The Shaolin monks are famous worldwide for their Kung-fu. But there are now fears that their fame is corrupting their ancient Xen Buddhist traditions. ''They try to trick you and get as much money as possible''. says one German student. In every surrounding village there are schools and tourist traps cashing in on their celebrity.

commercialism would do a better and much cleaner job at demolishing and destroying chinese traditional culture than the communists in the 50s. We are so tricked by the US and west.

the german guy complains but its people like him who are ruining it he just wants it all to himself....there are no monks anymore just fancy gymnasts with little or no fighting application in the forms

i'm sorry but who ... ( 1 week ago by Amaniel1984)

i'm sorry but who are u to say that. I stayed there for a year and trained in Taolu. Plus i'm going on for another 2 years. I don't know the german dude, but i complain with him. The reason he is complaining is because the schools tell u all kinds of stuff to get u there and in the end you don't get wat u paid for. there are kung fu monks here in there, there is 1 exiled on the song mountain, he takes the best from some schools and trains them in real kung fu.

"we got so much ... ( 3 days ago by AcceptNoBullshit)

"we got so much culture that ppl come here ILLEGALLY to see it and take advangtage of that." - how do you 'take advantage' of a culture? You confuse culture with society. And the american society also sucks :o).
"to be tellin us americans what we should do? " - are you referring to yourself as 'us americans'? It's obvious you have a very low IQ. Get off YT yourself, retarded chauvinist pig.

what kind of culture europeans brought to north america? eating a hamburger filled with mayonaisse while sitting on a couch, watching tv?
"we got so much culture that ppl come here ILLEGALLY to see it and take advangtage of that." they come cause of money and stable politics, not cause of culture. wake up.
