YUSHU, Qinghai - A Sichuan-based Tibetan temple donated 11.27 million yuan to quake-hit Yushu county on Friday, including 10 million yuan from the temple's Tibetan living Buddha, Tripa Rinpoch.

"We had planned to use the money to repair our temple, but now, it is our responsibility to donate it," Tripa Rinpoch told China Daily.
