Former Buddhist monk claims he was forced to live in a cave after his savings ran out while on cross-country spiritual journey
A man in China, who spent all his savings over 10 years as a monk, has sued his daughter for 200,000 yuan (US$28,000) for parental support after leaving his monastic life.
However, a court has dismissed the case, ruling that he had not lost his ability to work.
On August 9, the mainland media outlet The Paper reported the case, citing China Judgements Online.
The story has sparked a widespread debate online.
