Some people think going to the gym three times a week is dedication

This aged monk disproves that notion rather quickly

Hua Chi, a 70-year-old monk has been praying in the same exact spot for over 20 years creating an exact footprint into the centuries old wood of a monastery.

The Chinese monk arrives every day at the steps of the temple and prostrates himself thousands of times every day and has done so for two decades.


Along with 3cm deep footprints, there are two grooves indented in the wood by his arms.
