Buddhist monk Ming Yi donates kidney to stranger: Report

SINGAPORE - The Venerable Ming Yi , the former head of Ren Ci Hospital, donated his kidney to a stranger in need, a report said.

The monk went for an operation on April 27, and both he and the recipient of his kidney are recuperating well, Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported on Wednesday.

It is understood that the patient comes from a low-income family, and does not know the monk.

The Venerable Ming Yi, 53, has kept a low profile since his conviction for misappropriation of funds and falsifying accounts while he was chief executive of Ren Ci Hospital.

He served four months in jail in 2010 and was removed from his posts at Ren Ci.

Prior to the case, he was well-known for performing daring stunts to raise funds for the hospital.

He is reportedly still affiliated with Foo Hai Chan Monastery, which helped set up Ren Ci, but is no longer the Geylang temple's charity trustee and president.

He also spends much of his time in Thailand now and helps out at temples there.

A devotee, who was not named, told Shin Min: "He didn't tell anyone, we only found out after the operation."

doing good deeds will not send you to heaven!

especially when you are corrupted all your life, and you do lots of good deeds at the end!

you can't buy your way into heaven!

So commit crime whole life and towards the end, just repent and accept Christ. Then go heaven right??

He should donate his other kidney too, to gain good karma.

This is the typical excuse from fucking hypocrites like you so that you don't need to help others.

doing good deeds will not send you to heaven!

If it's true, definitely not just an attention seeker. But let's wait for further verification whether the report is true.

Seems attention seeker to me

Ming Yi is better than most of the keyboard warriors here, who only know how to criticize but do little in real life to help others.

This devotee's way of delivery very cheem. Need a lot of thinking to understand.
