We think this article shows overcoming the system to see a person's true intentions toward religon

The Eye opening ceremony was beautiful.
She is doing great things for Taoism and everything was described so beautifully.
I think with Zhu and Abbess they can keep the different parts of the religions alive

Abbes Yin cares more about the well being of the people that attend her temples rather than the money that it will make.

# data[].attributes.body
She is saying that the religion is what is important and people care about it. She has alot  of faith in the temple and doesn't want a tourist tra

ZHU WAS A LEGIT COTTONMOUTH(watch Luke Cage)
I don't like that he is apart of the communist party though. Because it's killing the religious part of the religion. I also do like that the temples are dedicated to a chairman.

I think that he has a good combination of personal gain and giving back to the community.

-What is Dante?
-it is very different from the USA because most of the billionaires in US don't put religion in their life like Zhu did.
-We like that she is trying to make the religion great again.
-It would be very tiring when she performs the rituals, it is very interesting and impressive. Does the Cinese government see Taoism as an actual religion or a philosophical idea?

# data[].attributes.body
The government is using people's trust in religion to manipulate and take advantage of the people

# data[].attributes.body
I like her because she really wants to preserve the religious aspect of Taoism. And between Zhu and her they are keeping it alive.

# data[].attributes.body
The Chinese government obviously doesn't care about the religion aspect of the temples. They would rather use these temples for income, tourism, power, and control.

Religion is the key to gaining many other benefits for the government but not the people.
Abbess Yen is focusing on keeping the authenticity of the religion and not watering it down.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the government have interest in their temple?

# data[].attributes.body
She cares more about the religion and the passion of the people instead of the money

# data[].attributes.body
I don't like that the government only decided to help the temple to make money.

It's sad that the donors have to choose to support the religion or the state.

Religion is becoming more powerful in the government so the government could be trying to controll it as much as possible

I think his motivations are good, he just seems like an odd man.

What kind of problems did she have trying to speak up on the abuses of religion?

I think Abbess is doing a great thing. There should be more people like her.

Overall, we think that what Abbess has done is truly keeping Taoism alive.

How many years did it take for her to do this?

It doesn't seem like the government cares too much about the actual religion because they were going to push aside the ritual for their own convenience.
The government is using religion for its own benefit (it is profitable or it strengthens government ideals, like the use of Confucianism)
Being patient and biding his (Zhu) time, this is a lot like Siddhartha. Also, it seems  that keeping tradition alive is more the main goal than keeping the religion alive.
Why are the only people "worth having" older than 80 or younger
than 20?
Opening the eyes of the Jade emperor reminds me of Hindus summoning gods into hand made idols.

The government is not good because they prevented them from having their own religion.
That's dead.

Physical cultivation and contemplation. Doing things like calligraphy, politics, medicine, and poetry.

This guy is trying to cultivate a Daoist following. He is putting in a lot of money for his cause.

She's keeping it real by having her temple for the pilgrims rather than for tourists and selling incense.

What is kowtowing?
These ceremonies seem pretty cool.

We find Abbess Yin extremely tough in convictions and doesn't back down. We although find it interesting and sad that the government only Cared about making money.

In Beijing they only had one temple but since the new uprising in religion there are now 10 temples.

Zhou took his Passion for Taoism and implemented it into his work and that flourished and he got his cause out and noticed.

Unlike Zhou, Abbess works to spread religious Taoism. She doesn't care about the money. Daoism is not a business for her.

It's interesting people were so enthralled with her performance which could help

-The government doesn't really care about the temple they just care about money.

-rise in religion could be rebellious
-religion is opening new doors and hope
-government using religion to make people cooperative
-city-centered Christianity seems opposite of the U.S.
-seems a little backwards since he is building huge buildings where scholars study a nature-oriented religion, still seems like a good cause
-abbess wants a return To traditional Taoism
-maybe China has decided religion might be just as good for controlling their people as atheism
-it is good there is a return to religion and also that there are people use religion for its intended means and promote traditional religious practices

# data[].attributes.body
The government is using religion as a motive for money. What happen if the tourism in china reaches an acceptable cap? Will the government stop supporting the temples?
-People in china today view Daoism as something to attract people more than an actual religion. Alot  of government control.
-Do regular people who practice Taoism criticize Zhu's way of life?
-She's very humble and she'd rather everyone focus on the great traditions Daoism has than making money out of it.
- Regular peoples seem interested in the religion ex.) "Our temple is back",

• The government seems to be using the religion for non-religious purposes, just to make money.

• It's interesting how the article lists Confucianism as an ideology, and not a religion.

• His motivations look like he wants to be talked about, and be praised for his "philanthropic efforts."

• Reminded of the Dalai Lama. She is not budging in her seriousness, her devotion to "chill" Taoism.

• The intricacies of the festivals were very interesting. I liked the details of the robes and music were very cool. Overall, I think Abess Yin held strong in her beliefs, giving a fair compromise.

When religion was reintroduced in Chinese community the government just saw it as a way to gain profit but the religious officials didn't want that. They didn't really care. The temple scenery was very described very vividly
