Little bonzes of Shaoling temple

They're adorable! Great pics. Do you shoot these yourself, or just find them and post links? If the former, you should know that we have quite a few CPians who are avid photography fans, and they frequent several sites that are devoted to the hobby. Ask around, I'm sure they'll be happy to lead you to forums where you can really strut your stuff! By the way, in the US Shaoling is known as Shaolin, and Gungfu is called Kung Fu. We had a TV series in the 70's or 80's that featured a Carradine (the whole family seems to be into martial arts, and I forget which one was first) as a Shaolin priest in the Old West, circa 1800. The character taught a way of non-violence in a very violent culture, but at the end of each episode he ended up kicking butt on some very ugly, mean people who were hurting people who had been nice to him. The TV show spawned a few hundred Kung Fu schools, perhaps more, and was responsible for creating a demand for martial arts training in the US. The show was probably more influential in developing an interest in oriental philosophy and fighting methods (odd combination, that) in this country than all the movies that Bruce Lee ever made.:-D Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

John Author Carradine played Kwai Chang Caine. But David Carradine is the stage name of John. - The Kung Fu series was some claim was concieved by Bruce Lee, and he was pissed then he didn't get the role. - But I agree the grasshopper stuff probably was a major booster in the western acknowledgemnet of oriental philosophies & values.

:laugh: It probably is against the law, but I wouldn't worry too much so long as you just post links. I'd expect any photographer to be pleased that you share his/her works with about 1 million of your closest friends.:) Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

The word "shao" in Chinese for the case "Shaolin" stands for the meaning "young". Thus, the meaning of Shaolin goes to:
Young trees.
