"What were the vows you took for discipleship?"
I'm not really sure. All I know is that after the ceremony, I was told that I was thenceforth a "Buddhist", and that I could no longer have sex with women. Great, I figured, "Now I have to read about Buddhism". Yet another project.
The vows have been translated for me (February 2001). It has been a long and painful process, as the Chinese that is used in the booklet is an old, unfamiliar form of Traditional Mandarin. They are fascinating to read, and the similarities between them and "rules" of other religions are interesting.You can read about them in the Shaolin FAQ under "Vows".
