A cartoon character from a Buddhist temple in Beijing has been making waves online. But Xian’er the monk is no ordinary two-dimensional comic strip – he’s a walking, talking, 24-inch high robot who can chant, answer questions and interact with his surroundings.
Xian’er the robot monk is not the first high-tech solution to Buddhist teachings from Longquan Temple. The institution is staffed by monks who operate computers and smart phones along with their prayer beads and singing bowls. His creator, Master Xianfan joined the temple after graduating from China’s most prestigious art school – the Central Academy of Fine Arts

Ich bin die Märtyrerin Reem Saleh Riyashi; ich hoffte, dass meine zerstückelten Körperteile zu Granatsplittern werden, die die Zionisten in Stücke reissen, die mit den Schädeln der Zionisten an die Tore des Himmels klopfen. Wie oft habe ich meiner Seele gesagt: "Oh Seele, wenn du die Zionisten hasst, die Feinde meiner Religion, soll mein Blut meinen Weg in den Himmel ebnen. Seit dem 8. Schuljahr habe ich daraufhingearbeitet, täglich Menschen gesucht, die mich leiten können, mit zuhören und mir helfen könne. Wie oft habe ich mir gewünscht, einen Shahada-bringenden (Selbstmord)Angriff in Israel durchzuführen; durch meine Hartnäckigkeit und Allahs Hilfe ist mein Wunsch in Erfüllung gegangen.
