To go with AFP story by Robert J. Saijet: CHINA-RELIGION-BUDDHISM Buddhist nuns work together in a chain-gang style transferring wooden planks during the refurbishment of a temple at Wutaishan on June 24, 2009 in northern China's Shanxi province, where temples thrive, monks travel far and wide in search of enlightenment, and the faithful fill the halls of worship. After decades of atheist polices, Buddhism is making a huge comeback in China and nowhere is this revival more apparent than at Wutaishan, the most important of China's four holy mountains and home to a sprawling complex of temples, located in remote mountains 300 kilometres (180 miles) southwest of Beijing. Interest in Buddhism has grown dramatically since the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, a period when religion was largely banned in China, the clergy persecuted and many temples and monasteries damaged beyond repair.
