Veg

[Drunk Monk]

There's odd meat eating in the Shaolin Temple film. There's the dog scene (which clearly involves a real dead dog head) and the frog chopping scene. The sequel had a snake skinning scene. There's this legend that the Tang Emperor granted Shaolin monks permission to drink wine, eat meat and own land but that's in contention (can the Son of Heaven overrule the Buddha?) The general belief now is that martial monks are not fully indoctrinated bhikksu. They are laymen disciples, same as me.
