Shoalin Temple abbot & the luxury car
Shi Yongxin, the abbot of the famed Shoalin Temple, has created a stir by accepting a $125,000 luxury car for his “services for tourism.”
“I will try my best to promote martial arts to the world in an attempt to boost local tourism. I dream of getting a bigger prize next year,” Shi said when he received the car a week ago, according to the Xinhua news agency.
Similarly, Mother Teresa was given a limousine in 1964 from Pope Paul VI, which she “immediately raffled to help finance her leper colony.”
