Vigilantes: Because the Vigilantes have no particular commitment to Buddhist rules and values, the Shaolin hierarchy has difficulty seeing that they have rules and values at all. From the Shaolin Monastery, American Vigilantism looks like a random outburst of animal violence. Shaolin agents who live in America have a better understanding, and generally know that the Vigilantes mean to be good guys. Shaolin agents even sometimes cooperate with Vigilante teams out in the field. Still, the Shaolin don’t trust Vigilantes too far. They view them as ignorant, undisciplined and excitable people with dangerous abilities. | Vigilantes: Because the Vigilantes have no particular commitment to Buddhist rules and values, the Shaolin hierarchy has difficulty seeing that they have rules and values at all.

''A Shaolin monk seats himself in a tea house and the waiter asks him, “What would you like?” And the monk says, “A cup of tea and some hot Hunan noodles.” (Sounds like, “Nothing. With our thoughts, we make the world.”)—Ming Dynasty joke, ca. 1450.'' | ''A Shaolin monk seats himself in a tea house and the waiter asks him, “What would you like?” And the monk says, “A cup of tea and some hot Hunan noodles.” (Sounds like, “Nothing.
