"It's a civil case, so meditation out of court will be the first and main solution," said Wu Guozhong, head of the court's publicity department. He said no judgment was released on Tuesday. "We'll reach a conclusion in the next week," he said.

But the management committee of the temple said: "We haven't received any mediation from the court yet and will not accept any of it. The money belongs to the temple and will be used for renovation projects in the temple, as the abbot wanted."

The daughter could not be reached for comment.
