Emma: Abbess Yin: The Modern Woman. She's very admirable, standing for what she believes in and the authenticity of the religion instead of trying to make money for herself.

Michelle: Money corrupts a lot of people.  It might be beneficial for tourism to stop until the priests find themselves

Takeaways: Abbess is a cooooool lady. It's great that the religion is becoming more and more respected. It is a little nerve wrecking how the government is involved though, there could be room for corruption or devastation with politicians and such involved.

Ch 2: I feel like there is a bad reputation for countries that do not have religious freedom. Less tourism for China?
Ch 3: We find it surprising that he wants people to part of a communist society.
Ch 4: we think she has found her flow and she's
has seen to attract people and has authenticness.
Ch 5: Keeping the traditions of Taoism creates an environment of authenticity. I really liked how the abbess held her ground and remained powerful.

A question

# data[].attributes.body
Abbess is idk.

Taoism is making a comeback like an 80's plaid skirt. Wide spread religious belief

We think that it's cool that someone cares about their religion so much that they'll do anything to help bring back Taoism.

This is real. Nothing he is doing is for show but for self glorification. She wants others to experience how he feels, that's why this is all happening. Money isn't an issue nor stepping stone.

"Abbess is a savage" - Brandon
She is very confident that donors will be drawn to this.

Taoism is making a comeback. More temples are rising which means that soon the religion will expand once again.

It isn't good that that the religion is relyinf on Zhu's money to help. People should believe based on what they want to believe not on Zhu's money.

Abbess Yin'$ approach is better than other approaches because her method is more pure for religions.

We learned that the Abbess nun brought a better approach than any other. She made it so that it was the people's choice to be religious rather than be forced not to by the government.

Their government is not the best they are only listening to what abbess says

-it's making a come up from having not alot  of temples to having 5,000

-Does he think helping rebuild it will influence more people to go transfer to it

- she wants to keep it as it is and not gain anything off of it

- beside it being for a god it was also a beautiful king to see or so it seems

We think the government is very corrupt and it's really cool that the Abbess doesn't conform to what they want her to do.

A question we have is why doesn't China remove the belief or rule that everyone has to be atheist or let those who want to, be able to practice religion. It's not good for the government to control their society to such a high degree.

We think that the billionaires efforts to keep Taoism alive is really beneficial to China and preserving their culture and history.

We think that she's more authentic and attracts more people.

We think it's very interesting that the Abbess never gave in to the pressures of the government and that Taoism was respected. It was also interesting that Taoism became more widespread.  Very inspirational!

Kate and I were intrigued by the fact she had rejected tourism as a way to pay for the reconstruction of her nunnery.

-The stubbornness of the Abbess Yin is very inspiring and her desire for authenticity will probably greatly effect the growth of Daoism.

-It never turns out well when government attempts to oppress a religion or race. It's impossible to keep up for long and it actually benefits them not to.

-Zhu is very charitable, but also does this to feed his own desire to support his beliefs, without his beliefs being discovered.

-I wonder how long it will be before this religious bubble of commerce will pop.

-Abbess Yin is dedicated and is at odds with the government around her but she is respectful of them at the same time she almost defies them.

1) don't know. I'm kinda surprised Abbess didn't disappear, because, you know, China
2) Mountain temple is cool, yo
3) Don't want people to be told to not be religious, but, if they feel like that, they should find out their own path.
4) The temple made lots of money, even though it's the opposite of Taoist teachings.
I want temple to make money, but not at thhe integrity of the religion.
5) Abbess Yin is a
strong dedicated woman who stuck to her cause and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
1.
So this woman is extremely stubborn and she is willing to go against the government.

2.
The people want to practice their own religion, despite government hold. It is obvious that Taoism still has hold on portions of China. These people are incredibly courageous to go against Chinese government

3.
You can't eraticate religion, no matter how powerful you think you are you cannot remove the beliefs of people.

4. The Abbess is genuine. She believes wholeheartedly and is willing to do a lot to fix her temple.

# data[].attributes.body
-Shocking that the temple is using money from the tourist.
-Why have the number of temples risen significantly?
-Why do they mix religion and politics the way that the do?
-We love that a woman is in charge, and that she's doing it because she really wants to.
-Our favorite thing was that many people wanted to get back to "traditional culture" and really wanted to connect on a deeper level than what they normally do. Abbess Yin is really cool with

# data[].attributes.body
1. She is a savage
2. We feel like that it I sent right that the temples are being used for profit and then again it is better than not having one at all
3) his dedication to Taoism is impressive
4 chemicalsm of Taoism is terrible y

I thought it was cool because abbess dose what she feels is right.

I think it's unnatural for tbe government to control religions. Especially more than one religion. The religions will end up looking the same in ways in the end
