People all over the world have been using the name Shaolin to promote themselves and thier product when there was absolutely no link. Guess its about time the temple took advantage of its' own name. | Now Lun you can't go and blame evil western capitalistic ideals on this one. Shaolin Temple has been nothing more then a tourist attraction ever since the last burning and ultimate reopening of the temple. Todays monks are allowed to eat meat and marry it's not the shaolin temple from the movies. It was reopened by the government to bolster tourism. It's not like over here the catholic church makes Jesus action figures just to make a buck.
