[edit] Buddhist nuns?

All initiates were required to hand over their possessions to Abbot Chao Kung, as he now called himself, who also spent his time seducing nuns.

Are there nuns in Buddhist monasteries? --Ghirla-трёп- 14:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
not sure, but they are not cloistered (nor are Buddhist monks). [1] It is probably wise to give a specific reference to the above though.--Erp 01:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Buddhist nun might be helpful here. DuncanHill 01:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a hoax, isn't it?

Tibetan nuns are no hoax. You better watch out for them. As for Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, it's like "Captain Speedy"-- the name makes you think "hoax". Wait for the reference-checker gnomes to dig out the truth-- or become one yourself! Cheers. --Yamara 19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buddhist nuns? Yep.

Yes, there are nuns in some Buddhist sects. Some shave their heads. Google "Buddhist nuns" and see. As for the article, it's not too far fetched. There's lots of wacky characters like this throughout history - especially the history of espionage. See Sir Richard Francis Burton, Sidney George Reilly, and Colonel Thomas Blood - and those are just the Brits!

My all-time favourite adventurers are Móric Beňovský and Yakov Blumkin. --Ghirla-трёп- 19:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reads like a hoax

Probably isn't a hoax, but reads like a hoax. Needs footnotes and rewriting for style. --User:Krator (t c) 18:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chao Kung

What are the kanji (Chinese characters) for Chao Kung? I would like to know. --211.19.218.101 18:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
