to me, and in the hearts of many traditional monks, disciples and students of shaolin temple, this "prc shaolin" is not shaolin at all. its just like saying those sausages sold under the shaolin name were shaolin.
modern shaolin is the same as the old shaolin. just like the dharma can wear many colors, have many expressions. but essentially it is unchanged and remains the same. shaolin, to us, is a path of dharma. therefore a path of simplicity.
this "prc shaolin" is a movement, not a path. a movement may need to uphold some image and cover its tracks. but a path is meant to be clear. and it is.
and paths may cross, but as richard says, its always out in the open.
my advice: if you want to know the fact of what shaolin is, dont follow the "prc shaolin" movement- follow the path.
