Apalah bedanya kalo sudah Lama sendiri sudah menyebutkan dalam Bahasa Inggris: MONK.
Diterjemahin ke pendeta? Benar! Karena itulah Bahasa Indonesia yg baku utk monk.

Facts & Figures: Everything You Need to Know About Steven Seagal
  1. As a kid growing up in Michigan, he was frail and asthmatic. A move to a dryer, warmer California helped.
  2. In high school, Seagal worked at an Orange County, California, Burger King.
  3. A letter to Movieline magazine in 1989, written by a high school classmate, remembered him, in the writer's opinion, as "a bully, a thug and a coward."
  4. After mastering aikido in the United States, Seagal became one of very few Westerners to teach the art in Japan, much less own a dojo.
  5. The essence of aikido [one translation: "The Way of Harmony of the Spirit"] is to become one with the motion of the universe. It's less about kicking and punching, more about using your enemy's own motion against him.
  6. "If you look at him run, he runs like a woman," John Connolly, who wrote a scathing profile of Seagal for Penthouse, tells THS.
  7. When he wed Adrienne La Russa in 1984, Seagal was still married to Miyako Fujitani, who was living in Japan.
  8. According to the book she wrote, Seagal's last words to his first wife, the daughter of an aikido master, were: "You are crazy; I want a divorce."
  9. Before he hit it big on the screen, Seagal's aikido dojo in West Hollywood attracted industry hotshots, including superagent Michael Ovitz.
  10. He has a large gun collection.
  11. He campaigned on behalf of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to improve the life of stray dogs in Taiwan, where they are, according to PETA, "gassed, starved, electrocuted and beaten to death."
  12. He's a vegetarian.
  13. A hard-core environmentalist, Seagal is a spokesman for Save the World Air, Inc., and he does ads encouraging you to recycle engine oil.
  14. Seagal directed himself in On Deadly Ground, about a renegade taking revenge on a ruthless oil baron.
  15. He plays guitar and has had an album in development for years. Wyclef Jean was, at one point, supposed to be producing a track.
  16. Seagal is a reincarnated 17th-century Tibetan monk named Chungdrag Dorje [pronounce that: khyung brag rdo rje].
  17. Responding to inquiries about how his ultraviolent movies mix with his coziness with Buddhist bigwigs like the Dalai Lama, Seagal once told a reporter: "A lot of great lamas and gurus I know really enjoy my films."

Steven Seagal Named Buddhist Holy Man
by Marcus Errico
Jun 20, 1997, 4:45 PM PT
 
Steven Seagal is more than just your basic ass-kicking movie star. Turns out he's an ass-kicking movie star and sacred vessel.
The screen hero, who's spent his prepositional career Marked for Death, Hard to Kill, Under Siege, Out for Justice and On Deadly Ground, has been named--we're not
kidding here--a reincarnated lama and sacred vessel of Tibetan Buddhism, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
He was elevated to "tulku" by Penor Rinpoche, the Supreme Head of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism.
 
Of course, Seagal has long been one of the Industry's high-profile Buddhists (along with Richard Gere and Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch). In fact, Tinseltown is so high
on Tibetans that there are two films coming out this fall about the Dalai Lama: Martin Scorsese's Kundun and Seven Years in Tibet, starring Brad Pitt.
Rinpoche declared Seagal a tulku and a "terton" (someone with the abilities to perceive the root teachings of Tibetan Buddhism) in Feburary in a ceremony at the
Namdroling Monastery in India. Only 30 others have been tapped as tulkus by Rinpoche.
Rinpoche's Stateside representative, Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso, called Seagal's spiritual elevation a great honor. "Seagal had his own vision of having some deeper
knowledge in the dharma (divine law)," Gyatso said.
But some skeptics think the elevation from movie star to holy vessel had more to do with dinero than dharma. Some American Buddhists believe Seagal bought his title
by donating to Rinpoche's school. "As much as I respect Penor Rinpoche, I still think this is a little fishy," writes one Buddhist in an Internet newsgroup. "Recognizing a
tulku, especially when it is an American person with lots of fame and fortune, is like buying a stock option."
Others question Seagal's moral qualifications--pointing to allegations that he sexually harrassed aspiring actresses. (The charges have been denied by Seagal's attorney.)
Bunk, says Michelle Bega, Seagal's spokeswoman. "He was given the title on his merits."
Meanwhile, the last action lama is gearing up for a publicity blitz for his next film, due out in September.
We can only imagine the tagline: Watch His Holiness Beat Back the Fire Down Below!
