Cool factor: Buddhist monk’s footprints in wood

Monk’s name: Hua Chi

My take: Lemme make it clear – it’s not photoshopped! Hua Chi, 70, a doctor in traditional medicine and a true devotee has been praying in a temple in Tongren, China, for over twenty years. These marks are a result of his devotion, praying each day on the very spot, for twenty years.

Hua Chi: “During the first years I would pray 2,000 to 3,000 times a day. But I have grown older, so in recent years I have only done around 1,000 each day. I reconstructed this temple and have prayed and walked around the temple all these times so that after my death my spirit will not suffer.”
