          Super-competitive monks learn new skills
          (Reuters)

          Piety and a knowledge of Buddhist scriptures used to qualify one to be a Chinese monk. Now, add computer skills, foreign language ability and a degree in financial management.

          Three decades after temples were destroyed and scriptures burned during the Cultural Revolution, Buddhism is making a comeback in China.

          And like most things in the super-competitive, rapidly developing country, it's become both big business and a field in which people are eager to get ahead.

          That's creating a new breed of multi-tasking, tech-savvy, upwardly mobile monks.

          "Our recruiting process is highly competitive," said Hui Jue, deputy general manager of the 120-year-old Jade Buddha Temple in downtown Shanghai. With his head shaven and dressed in long, orange-brown monk's robes, he recently completed a master of business administration degree at prestigious Jiaotong University.

          Fifteen monks from the temple have been sent to take foreign language courses at the Shanghai International Studies University, and a second batch have started MBA studies in the business school of Jiaotong University.

          Such skills are necessary, Hui Jue believes, for the temple to both spread Buddhist teachings in the modern world and manage its growing business interests.

          In addition to the temple grounds, Jade Buddha owns a vegetarian restaurant, a four-star hotel with uniformed security guards to protect VIP guests, a seven-floor office building and a food factory.

          KUNG FU MONKS

          Many of China's temples have been little touched by time, especially in remote areas of the country. But Jade Buddha Temple's modern approach is no longer unusual.

          Buddhism, introduced into China around the first century, is the biggest religion in China with as many as 100 million adherents, over eight percent of the Chinese population, according to some estimates.

          China now has 13,000-some Buddhist temples and about 200,000 Buddhist monks and nuns, according to the State Administration for Religious Affairs. The number is believed to be rising.

          Lucrative, fast-growing temples have also sprung up elsewhere in Asia, such as in Taiwan and Thailand. But China's size and entrepreneurial flair may be unmatched.

          The ancient Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, for example, has capitalised on its reputation as a birthplace of the martial arts to host glamorous international guests and stage kung fu performances around the world.

          In July, its abbot flew to Germany to watch the World Cup soccer final at the invitation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter. Both soccer and martial arts can help to promote world peace, the abbot was quoted as saying by the Xinhua news agency.

          Shaolin Temple has launched a money-making martial arts training school and Shaolin Development Ltd., a company producing vegetarian snacks and Zen tea. The temple also cooperates with entertainment companies in film-making and online game production.
