The Tsz Shan Monastery, built by the Li Ka Shing Foundation, has published a new book, offering a peek into the philosophy and witticism of Hong Kong\u2019s wealthiest man, whose own rags-to-riches life story has inspired generations of entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
Titled Eternity in Light, the five-chapter tome was published to mark the monastery\u2019s 10th anniversary, featuring writings by scholars of Buddhism and professors of architecture about the landmark in Tai Po in Hong Kong\u2019s New Territories.<\/p>\n
The Li Foundation was the temple\u2019s main benefactor, contributing HK$3.5 billion (US$446 million) towards its land acquisition, construction costs and operating expenses, according to its website.<\/p>\n
The book comes just days after Li\u2019s CK Asset Holdings rebutted rumours that the family was selling its residence of more than fifty years, after some of Hong Kong\u2019s wealthiest families and property investors had to let go of their assets to ease financial strains.<\/p>\n
CK Hutchison also faces increased scrutiny from both Beijing and Washington regarding the company\u2019s plan to sell a portfolio of 43 international ports, including terminals at the Panama Canal, amid heightened geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n
A source familiar with the matter said the Tsz Shan Monastery had been preparing the book for \u201ca long time\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tsz Shan Monastery, built by the Li Ka Shing Foundation, has published a new book, offering a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":124975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[9710,1022,28898,76927,76924,76920,171,76923,76926,8464,76928,51533,76925,76921,76922,67,132,68,2058],"class_list":{"0":"post-124974","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-beijing","9":"tag-books","10":"tag-buddhism","11":"tag-buddhist-art-museum","12":"tag-ck-asset-holdings","13":"tag-ck-hutchison","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-eternity-in-light","16":"tag-guanyin","17":"tag-hong-kong","18":"tag-li-ka-shing","19":"tag-new-territories","20":"tag-richard-li-tzar-kai","21":"tag-tai-po","22":"tag-tsz-shan-monastery","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-washington"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114984702761128537","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
