Convention is not going to become awakened within the confines of an hour program, and what the Shaolin already have to offer that convention can process is quite an intellectual and awe-inspiring overload as it is. One always has to "remember one's audience," and never to overwhelm or alienate! When one is suggesting a book or movie, one doesn't reveal the details within. One simply suggests and allows those interested (or "ready") to explore further for themselves. This is a wonderful documentary with its intended focus on Shaolin activities that convention can readily process and appreciate. The goal is to universally share, not invalidate. There is no actual conflict between capitalism and spirituality. Enlightenment is not an escape. It is only genuine enlightenment when the two truths are resolved within the Now, and that means living in the shared world and surviving in parallel. By the way, I really enjoy the boxes concept! To all the participants, wonderful job! As a teacher of Consciousness for decades, I respect that this documentary does not attempt to convey deeper realities to the viewing public.

Excellence is every students goal as this will be their livelyhood. The movement to capitalize on it's heritage is radical and innovative. The Nat Geo special touches on how their name is abused by profiteers, if anyone should be profiting it's the Shaolin. It's an immpressive institution dedicated to tradition and art. The temples mission has changed and it's competeing to survive in a new world. Interesting how it conflicts with most peoples interpretation of what it represents but times change.

Also, they said that those that don't make exhibition teams either end up being become bodyguards or stuntmen in films thanks to Jet Li. There is an actually scene were you see a class of young Shaolin novices playing World of Warcraft. From what the documentary implies are that the kids are almost recruited to enter Shaolin.

The exhibition stuff now just isn't as great as the old school stuff anymore. Don't forget that at Shaolin, it wasn't until later on that people could join the school and leave but represent (like Jet Li). That was probably one of the beginnings for the capitalistic move by Shaolin. Interesting stuff, definitely.
