From the way I read it, they're not requesting money, it's just donations. So people are just coming up and donating. I'm not sure what they're donating for though, from the way I see it people don't need any money to just sit there and meditate.

I don't think he's dead though... His corpse would be decomposing. No one would be able to come near for the smell of rotting flesh. =S

Maybe he's been embalmed? Like Lenin? As far as I know (having only seen pictures) Lenin looks like he could just be sleeping. Having not actually been to Russia and been to 'The Mausoleum' I can't say for sure but as far as I know he doesn't smell.
