Donating to temples and monasteries in China

[Spotless]

Many of the insights that Walker shares regarding China are unknown to most Westerners - the Ghost Cities are real. - where cities were built but with no one living in them and people buying and selling them like popcorn on wall street at higher and higher prices having never even visted them - brochure sales and mania.

 

I know of one city built with outside aid from governments around the world - it was to be a Green City. The person put in charge was provided a certain time to make it happen and a certain amount of money. The person put in charge was an elder of the area and had no experience in building. 

 

When the project was "complete" many (most) of the homes that looked great from the outside had no working plumbing - toilets that were simply placed in the correct area. Some had no wiring. Some had nothing inside - no doors to various rooms - no flooring.

 

But - most of those involved had nice new cars and a feather in their hat for what was accomplished. It is hard to fathom and easy to laugh at but far more complex than we can easily discern.

 

It is an incredible place - among the most striking things to see is a 40 story building being finished entirely surrounded by bamboo scaffolding the full 40 stories high with a guy running along in a busy street filled with cars pulling a cart with a potato cooker steaming away.
