[quote=DREAMLIFE,249329]According to the news, the martial arts has been selected as the speical sports event of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. During the 2008 Olympic Games, the martial arts contest will be held. However, people who take part in the contest will not win the medals. Perhaps this marks that China has begun to promote the martial arts in the grand international sport events----Olympic Games.

The Shaolin Temple is famed as the origin of the martial arts. For this reason, some people say that it is good to let the Shaolin monks participate the contest. However, the abbot of the temple said that No Shaolin monks will take part in that contest Also he said that to cultivate themselves is the purpose of praticing Shaolin martial arts, not for contests.

Another source said that Shaolin monks may perform martial arts at the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympics Games. This is a good chance to show their skilled martial arts to the foreign friends.

What do you think? Shaolin monks should participate in the contest or not?
