The Abbot of Shaolin Temple in Central Dengfeng received a US$125,000.00 car at a tourism promotion conference in the city. 2.) In Donghai County, Jiansu Provice, local people esp. the wealthy families often employ striptease troupe to attract crowds to funerals. Are the above true? What a life! Pays to be a Shaolin monk and a great way to be sent off at the end.
