Millionaire Gives Up Fortune, To Become Buddhist Monk

Jingchong
One would have imagined that Indian wealthy Billionaire Bhanwarlal Raghunath that gave up his fortune to become a monk was a unique occurrence among a form, but it’s astonishing to know that Meet Liu Jingchong, a wealthy Chinese businessperson also had renounced his wealth for monkhood.
The 39year old Jingchong, was infested by the religious bug in 2012, after an automobile accident. “It is true that I earned a lot of money and I can’t say I hated my life,” he said to newsmen. “I would say that I even loved it, but all that changed when friends of mine and I had a car accident in a remote part of the country in northwestern China’s Qinghai province.”

“We needed to get a new car and not all of us were fit to travel immediately,” Jingchong recalled. “But as I was relatively okay, I stayed in a hotel where about the only thing to do was read a book on Buddhism. I have to say it changed my life.”
