In 1992, at the age of 21 years, Polly took a leave of absence from Princeton University and traveled to China to train at the Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of Chan (Zen) Buddhism and kung fu. Feng Yingbiao of Master Insight [zh-yue] wrote that Polly's training at the Shaolin Temple was merely a crash course designed to lure laowai, attendance of which does not lead to expertise in Chinese culture. In exchange for $1,300 a month Polly was allowed to stay and train with the monks. He spent two years at the temple and became the first American accepted as a Shaolin disciple." ; Signed by Author .
