The Tsz Shan Monastery, built by the Li Ka Shing Foundation, has published a new book, offering a peek into the philosophy and wisdom of Hong Kong\u2019s wealthiest man, whose own rags-to-riches life story has inspired generations of entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cEternity in Light\u201d, the five-chapter tome was published to mark the monastery\u2019s 10th anniversary, featuring writings by scholars of Buddhism and professors of architecture about the landmark in Tai Po in Hong Kong\u2019s New Territories.<\/p>\n

The Li Foundation was the temple\u2019s main benefactor, contributing HK$3.5 billion (US$446 million) towards its land acquisition, construction costs and operating expenses, according to its website.<\/p>\n

The monastery had been preparing the book for a long time, according to a source familiar with the matter. Still, its release came days after Li\u2019s flagship company CK Asset Holdings<\/a> had to rebut rumours<\/a> of a purported sale of his family home of more than six decades, amid a spate of disposals<\/a> by other indebted property owners and wealthy families.CK Hutchison Holdings<\/a>, the second flagship of the Li family, also faces increased scrutiny from both Beijing and Washington regarding the company\u2019s plan to sell a portfolio of 43 international ports, including terminals at the Panama Canal, amid heightened geopolitical tensions.\"LiLi Ka-shing, Hong Kong\u2019s wealthiest man.

Li, who turned 97 last month, has been dubbed Hong Kong\u2019s \u201cSuperman\u201d for his perspicacity and deal-making prowess. Since 1980, his namesake foundation has given away more than HK$30 billion to support education, medical services, charity and poverty relief in Hong Kong, mainland China and all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tsz Shan Monastery, built by the Li Ka Shing Foundation, has published a new book, offering a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[5713,457,22934,27450,27447,27443,96,27446,27449,6875,27451,27442,27448,27444,27445,56,54,55,2866],"class_list":{"0":"post-49291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-beijing","9":"tag-books","10":"tag-buddhism","11":"tag-buddhist-art-museum","12":"tag-ck-asset-holdings","13":"tag-ck-hutchison","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-eternity-in-light","16":"tag-guanyin","17":"tag-hong-kong","18":"tag-li-ka-shing","19":"tag-new-territories","20":"tag-richard-li-tzar-kai","21":"tag-tai-po","22":"tag-tsz-shan-monastery","23":"tag-uk","24":"tag-united-kingdom","25":"tag-unitedkingdom","26":"tag-washington"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
