Senior Chinese Buddhist renounces his vows for love: The head of one of China’s main Buddhist monasteries has abruptly cast off his robes in order to marry a 26-year-old jade dealer

Qing Xian, who is thought to be in his 40s, shocked his fellow monks by handing in his resignation from the monastery on June 9. He married his sweetheart, named only as Ms Yan, three days ago at the Grand View Hotel in the western city of Kunming.
