One of the headlines for the local news these days is about the head of Ren Ci Hospital, monk Ming Yi, being charged for mis-using the funds raised for the hospital. I am so disappointed when I saw the news.
Through this incident, it has proven to me once again that money can corrupt a person. It doesn't matter whether a person is known as upright or honest. Everyone of us has a "number". For some of us, a few thousand is enough to corrupt us. For others, maybe more. But eventually, when the amount is reached, we will turn away from the correct path. This has proven true in the Ming Yi's case.
This incident has teached us not to trust religious leaders wholeheartedly. They are only human. And a human heart is weak.
