Footprints carved by faith


Its all about the Power of faith:
These footprints are believed to have been 'carved' into the
floorboards by a Buddhist monk who has prayed at the same spot for
many years.
Hua Chi, who believes he is around 70 years old, says he has kowtowed
at the same spot so many times that his footprints are imprinted on
the wood.
The monk and doctor of traditional medicine has been coming to the
small temple in the monastery town of Tongren in China's western
Qinghai province for nearly twenty years.
Every day, before sunrise, Hua arrives at the temple steps, placing
his feet onto his footprints. During the first years he would kowtow
2,000 to 3,000 times a day.
