Shi doubt

◎ ◎ Li Hong Gu Lei Photo

In 2004, the Discovery Channel to film a documentary Shaolin Temple. It is said that they do not know how to translate the “abbot” is the word, so the Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin, straight to “Shaolin CEO”.

Modern enterprise system to compare and analyze a temple, during which of course includes a layer of public questions. This title accurate? The answer may not be, or whether it directly. Answer this question, we must return to and enter the temple itself. 30 years of reform and opening up a monastic way of life are taking place in the evolution, if we lose observations, any answers inevitably arbitrary.

Known as the “CEO” Two years ago, Shi in the “two sessions” on the move, “relief believers into the scenic area temple ticket.” This motion is not as merely “ticket” issue can be thin. In 2005, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice

“And the religious activities on the tour to visit the point of ticket discounts on religious practice issues notice” (made to change pricing [2005] No. 2714) – Tickets can be seen a broad range of issues involved. This is the general background of the situation of religious life.

However, Shaolin Temple, the ticket issue is a paradox: on the one hand, want relief abbot Shi Yongxin, the best cancellation; the other hand, the Songshan Shaolin Scenic Area 100 tickets a year, more than 100 million income element, while the Shaolin Temple will get 30% of the income distribution

- For a long time, this is the main source of income Shaolin Temple. Scenic ticket revenue with the Scenic Area into the monastery, which is Shaolin Temple “economy” constitutes the main part. But Shi truly hope that relief – he’s honest with his reasons to the Articles:

Freedom of belief, but have been hampered because the ticket, no matter how they talk, it is inappropriate. NDRC notice will also be publishing a follow this principle. Shaolin Zhongseng, such as interpretation of the Control Yuan Yan Lin told correspondents: the future is a trend reduction tickets. However, to rely on ticket sales as the main body of the Shaolin Temple, in relief tickets, how independent? This of course is the paradox, is also questionable.

For a famous temple, its questions are not so simple ticket problem. In 1998, the Shaolin Temple to SAIC query “Shaolin” brand, found that until that point, the mark has been no association with the Buddhist Shaolin or commodities registered by 57.

Then, “Shaolin Temple” or “Shaolin” brand and on the underlying intellectual property, its ownership of what is the really tall temple in Songshan, or the whole of society? Or, who grabbed the (registered) on who should? This is the Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongxin and from their own experience, this time to make real and profound questions.

Shi raised questions seemed to need plenty of time, in perfect religion, trademarks, intellectual property, legal system, property rights, after all, have finally clear and definite answer. However, it seems can not wait for the results of Shi arrival. With passive and let others occupied and abuse “Shaolin” This has a history of 1,500 years of Chinese traditional resources, as to accept and enter this era, this is his choice and the Shaolin Temple. Shi choice, naturally raised questions about the media and the public. Such and such, or temple it? Question is twofold.

In all fairness, a temple such as the Shaolin Temple, both in ancient China or in modern society, to survive the environment into its age, and follow the rules of the times, the natural must. China, in the present moment but we need more local Buddhist such as Shaolin Temple for the modernization of traditional Chinese wisdom and knowledge resources, obviously, at least for now still to meet this demand – demand and supply in the form here gap. Public doubts about the end result of this psychology.

Of course, the question – whether public or Shi Yongxin, but we enter, discover and understand a Chinese temple starting point for survival in modern society. Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin in an interview with our correspondents very frankly: “All our efforts only to find a survival mode. For the Shaolin Temple, first of all inheritance, followed to meet the needs of all sectors of society – government needs, public needs and the needs of the faithful. as long as this way we can survive on value. we can offer? way of life, wisdom and knowledge. ”

Way of life, wisdom and knowledge, this is a result has been reached? Not. Is in a great era of transition in China’s Shaolin Temple, this is only one direction it started. ■

In contrast, as the extension of the Control Yuan Lin is another person entirely. In fact, he is for the Shaolin Temple to build a pharmacy and an official ordained. In 2004, the Shaolin pharmacy was established in 1988 to recognize the extension of Shi Lin finally leave home after two years, the work of the Control Yuan to play Temple,

One large, is to plan a reality Shaolin pharmacy.

In the absence of a monk before the extension of Lin to help the Shaolin Temple in Hong Kong to develop “Shaolin bookstore” work, but also to help martial arts group performed in Taiwan. “I’m more overseas relations, uncle of Taiwan’s pharmaceutical industry, so a lot of help on busy.” He is a man in Hangzhou,

Young to practice health qigong. In 1988, he accompanied a friend to the Korean practice Shaolin Temple was still in the loose state, many did not fix a house, from Zhengzhou to Shaolin Temple, did not even coach. “We pack up a car here, in the old temple, the

Chat to see where a group of monks, of which there are more than 20-year-old Shi, I years older than he, but he then becomes a nun for many years, may also cause, I worship him as the master. ”

Yan Lin is clearly needed is the development of the Shaolin Temple, the people. He not only social relations and more, to do things decent, Shaolin 90’s he was looking for opportunities overseas, enter the new century, in Hong Kong, Shaolin met a number of public crisis, including the “abbot for the phone number the opening,”

“Shaolin Temple incense to 100,000 yuan astronomical,” and so, once the media published, reproduced at home and abroad, he came forward to resolve these by. He said: “I found the media to explain to them the so-called phone numbers for the opening violation of common sense alone, the Buddhist tradition can only be opened for the Buddha light.

Abbot to participate in these activities, fund-raising money for the Shaolin orphanage; As incense money, is nonsense, our incense is free of charge, 10 million is only the contributions of individual believers. In contrast, we compared the South temple, even worse a lot of contributions. ”

In 2004, when demolition work has been around the Shaolin Temple was. Abbot Shi Yongxin think the famous Shaolin Temple as the Zen tradition of much-needed restoration of the jungle’s interior. “Shaolin is the Wu is not the foundation of Zen, this point we have been very firm.” Then and temple staff and resources to do an internal restructuring and distribution,

“Zen is the core of our faith, life and death is also the monks of the orbit. The martial arts and medicine, are the two major traditions of Shaolin. Zen is the internal phase, martial arts and medicine, although the Foreign Secretary, but, and Zen are one.”

In Shi’s scheme, the Shaolin Temple pharmacy is a medical tradition can take down the carrier, extended Lin’s foreign pharmacies can be generated to the conditions. 2010, preliminary planning complete Shaolin pharmacy. “I have white hair.” Yan Lin joke, has always attached importance to spiritual health even though he was nearly 50 years old, but looks very young.
