College Graduates Turn to Buddha for Good Jobs?

The Sleeping Buddha Temple at the Beijing Botanical Garden has become popular among college students, especially those having trouble finding a job.

 

Oddly enough, "Sleeping Buddha Temple" in mandarin sounds similar to the English word "office," and many students have come to believe that hanging around the temple with bring them the blessing of a good job.

 

Professor Cong Zhong from Peking University says the difficulty of finding a good job has put too much pressure on graduates, and they may resort to superstitious beliefs to find relief.
