More than just money

Should a line be drawn between religion and commerce?
To most people the value of the realm of spirit cannot be measured with money.
However, the companies that manage the tourist resources of the four holy Buddhist mountains in China - Putuo, Wutai, Jiuhua and Emei - are trying to blur the distinction. Emei Tourism Co Ltd, which manages the tourist resources of Mount Emei, has already been listed in the A-share market, and the companies that manage the tourist resources of the other three sites are keen to follow suit so they can maximize their profits from exploiting these holy sites.
