What Jelly said was very true to us Asian. In our culture the monk is suppose to be a very spiritual, holy and powerful person.

If you are interested, here is story.
In the Shaolin temple the monks there are fame for their martial art. They form the backbone of all China's Kung Fu. They practice martial art as a form of execise. The temple is like a small cities with its own rules and regulations.
(1) No ladies visitor in the temple premises.
(2) Shave the head and nine minor burn holes to signify that he have left the world behind and devote his life to the monk cause.
(3) Will never take meat again only Vege
(4) Will never leave the temple unless on official business. If not must go thru the "eighteen Bronze monk formation" - And yes they have official business and sometimes they do the bidding of the empror.

The have different rows for each and every monks, some are like receptionist, specialize in PR [img]smile.gif[/img] some are like police which delt our punishment and they even have librarians, chefs etc.

Of course there are some black sheep (Like the one I have in my party [img]smile.gif[/img] )
But in general they are on the lawful good side.
