A prison guard, wearing a cassock, using a carefully disguised "painted skin" , traveled to more than 20 provinces to preach scriptures and lectures in ten years, and built himself into a " Living Buddha ".
During this period, he developed nearly 4,000 disciples, made nearly 200 million in wealth, and behaved inappropriately with more than 100 women. This "living Buddha" who deceives the world in the name of Buddhism is Lausanne Shanzhen, 's original name is Wang Xingfu.
However, this so-called "living Buddha" is actually a Han Chinese through and through.
However, how can such a Han Chinese who does not understand Tibetan have such energy? How did he put on the cloak of "living Buddha"? How do you conceal the truth and commit your own crimes?
The roots of it all go back 15 years.
01
In 2007, Wang Xingfu arrived in Ganzi, Sichuan, and "by coincidence" knocked on the door of Eruo Temple's head monk Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong never thought that he would be involved in prison because of this Han Chinese.
Before meeting Lu Rong, Wang Xingfu had been swindling in the world for many years.
In 1997, Wang Xingfu already had two identities. One identity was prison guard , and the other identity was " Qigong Master ."
Of course, this so-called "Qigong Master" was just a way for him to make money. That’s all.
At that time, Wang Xingfu was patrolling the prison and overheard a criminal saying that there was a profession in the world called "Qigong Master" who could earn millions a year.
When Wang Xingfu heard this sky-high figure, he looked incredulous and wondered if this kind of profession really existed?
So, driven by curiosity, Wang Xingfu went to learn some information about this profession.
The more he understood, the more Wang Xingfu felt contemptuous.
It turns out that the so-called "Qigong masters" are just liars who are good at talking and acting.
These people use the name of qigong masters to recruit a bunch of helpers, then open classes everywhere to recruit disciples, and finally charge entry fees. After
understood it clearly, Wang Xingfu began to try to imitate these people and cheat everywhere. What he didn't expect was that he achieved good results in his first try.
After experiencing the benefits, he completely gave up his job in prison and became a "Qigong Master" wholeheartedly.
In just a few years, he earned nearly 1 million yuan.
In 2000, the country began to crack down on illegal activities under the guise of qigong. Wang Xingfu knew that this kind of industry could no longer continue, so he took the money and fled to Ganzi, Sichuan.
Not long after arriving here, Wang Xingfu set his sights on "Tibetan Buddhism". He learned to make up several secret books and continued to work in his old business.
Wang Xingfu knew that this method of opening a business without changing the medicine was not a long-term solution. If he wanted to make money legitimately, he must have a legitimate identity.
As a result, a rigorous plan sprouted in Wang Xingfu's heart.
02
After asking around, Wang Xingfu set his sights on a temple monk named Lu Rong .
He calls himself a "practitioner" to Lu Rong. He has participated in the Dharma assembly of Oruo Temple before and also practiced in Ali, Tibet. He respects the abbot of the temple, Master Gongzhi, so he wants to become his disciple. Study Buddhism.
Lu Rong decisively rejected Wang Xingfu's remarks, because the rule of Buddhism is that non-natives are not allowed to enter .
After being rejected, Wang Xingfu not only did not give up, but also brought many disciples to support the monastery and donated money and materials to the local Tibetans.
In just half a year, Lu Rong’s assets reached 100,000 yuan.
Lu Rong was moved by Wang Xingfu's "sincerity", so he agreed to make an exception for him this time.
In order for Wang Xingfu to become a disciple smoothly, Lu Rong used his connections to create a false identity for Wang Xingfu. changed his Han identity to Tibetan and gave him a new name, "Lossang Danzhen".
After doing all this, Lu Rong began to blow hard in front of Master Gongzhi, praising Lobsangdan as a person with Buddha nature, and hoping that Master could accept him as a closed disciple.
In the end, Master Gongzhi couldn't bear Lu Rong's repeated persuasion and agreed to the matter.
Although he became a disciple, Wang Xingfu is not yet a monk in the true sense because he does not have the "Aga Certificate".
This "Aga Certificate", as the name suggests, is the "Tibetan Buddhist Clergy Certificate". Only with this certificate can one be considered a true monk and can legally engage in Buddhist-related religious activities.
Later, under the "operation" of Gong Zhi and Lu Rong, Wang Xingfu recorded the household registration certificate materials. With having a justifiable identity and status, Wang Xingfu’s deception journey has officially begun.
03
In 2008, Wang Xingfu traveled to various places to preach, give lectures and recruit disciples as Lobsang Danzhen many times.
In order to show off his identity as a "living Buddha", he asked Lu Rong to hold a grand "enthronement" ceremony for him.
Before the ceremony, he specifically told his disciples to record his "enthronement" ceremony and burn it into a CD so that it could be disseminated among believers in the future.
Not only that, he also asked his disciples to Photoshop a poster of him with Buddha's light on his head and sitting on a lotus, and made it into a bronze statue for worship.
After this series of careful publicity, the name of "Lossangdan Real Living Buddha" has been completely established. There are more and more followers under him, ranging from teachers and professors to famous families.
Seeing that his fame was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more apprentices came to him to become his disciples, Wang Xingfu came up with another plan.
He successively established 8 Daochang in Beijing, Shenyang, Chengdu and other places, was used for to recruit disciples , and then set up branch monasteries under the 8th Daodaochang. These branches were guarded by his most trusted disciples.
has taken the bait, and all that is left is to wait for the "fish" to take the bait.
It is understood that Wang Xingfu developed more than 3,000 disciples in just a few years.
In order to gain the trust of new disciples, he compiled a whole set of "Dharma books" and claimed that this set of "Dharma books" could purify the mind more quickly and achieve enlightenment.
With the coronation of "Living Buddha" and "Dharma Book", Wang Xingfu completely gained the trust of his disciples.
As the saying goes, if the fish takes the bait, cut it open.
He first made a " Buddhist ID card ". All believers who enter his sect must fill in this ID card and make a poisonous oath on the ID card.
In order to make the believers obediently write down the contract on this ID card worth thousands of dollars, Losang Danzhen used the psychology of the believers to brainwash them, saying that this is just a little incense money for the Buddha, and if you write it down, you can keep it forever. Safety.
However, the fact is that all the incense money given to Buddha went into Wang Xingfu's pocket.
Later, he and Lu Rong cooperated with each other and collected property from his disciples many times for different reasons such as preaching and building temples.
He also created a course called " level four initiation " to allow people to receive Buddhist initiation.
In the eyes of others, Wang Xingfu is the Living Buddha, and accepting the initiation from the Living Buddha himself can not only quickly improve the level of Dharma, but also improve his understanding.
However, this four-level practice and more than ten courses will cost about 50,000 yuan.
But that’s not all. He used the money he collected to establish a company, with his disciples as legal persons, specializing in selling Buddhist-related items.
It is reported that the bottles and cans he sells are all bought at low prices. After buying them back, he "makes" them.
After completing the ceremony, these bottles transformed into "Dragon King Treasure Vase", and then he turned around and sold them at ten times the price.
In just one week, he made 470,000 yuan from it.
However, Wang Xingfu’s greed goes far beyond that.
04
Later, Wang Xingfu could not hide his evil heart. In the name of "body blessing", suppressed and controlled female believers and used them to do inappropriate things.
According to the victim's description, Wang Xingfu molested her in the name of "purification."
She was very resistant at first, but Wang Xingfu said: " Her body has become turbid after reincarnation and needs the blessing of the physical body to purify it. "
As a believer, she did not dare to refuse.
It is precisely this mentality that has been grasped. In the past ten years, hundreds of women have fallen into the clutches of Wang Xingfu.
In 2016, a report letter exposed Wang Xingfu’s many years of evil deeds.
05
The person who reported it was the female disciple who was molested by Wang Xingfu.
It is reported that this female disciple had a conflict with her husband. She heard from her friends that this real living Buddha named Lobsangdan could solve problems, so she traveled thousands of miles to find him to practice.
However, what she didn't expect was that Luosang Danzhen would use a set of prepared words to induce her to have a relationship with him.
After this incident, she suffered from depression . Later, I realized something was wrong, and with the encouragement of my family, I called the police. After
received the report, the local police quickly launched an investigation. If you don't investigate, you won't know. Once you investigate, you will be shocked.
Wang Xingfu not only has a fake national surname, but also a fake religious education.
Over the years, he has used false identities to make a lot of money. Not only does he have 12 properties under his name, he even has countless gold bars, luxury goods and other items.
After obtaining conclusive evidence, the police began to make arrests.
On the day of the arrest, when the silver bracelet was cuffed on his wrist, Wang Xingfu was still questioning the police while doing so without changing his expression: " What are you doing? This is a powerful place for Buddhism, and I am a living Buddha. Did you arrest the wrong one?" After arriving at the interrogation room, Wang Xingfu remained stubborn and denied all the crimes he had committed. However,
was quickly slapped in the face.
When the police laid out his crimes in front of him one by one, Wang Xingfu's eyes gradually dimmed. Only then did he realize that he was not a living Buddha, but an ordinary person named Wang Xingfu.
Perhaps because he had worked in a prison before and was well aware of the procedures here, he no longer concealed anything and openly admitted all his crimes.
In February 2021, Wang Xingfu was sentenced to 25 years in prison, and his accomplice Lu Rong was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
He used to be a prison guard, but he didn't expect to come back here again, but this time in another identity.
As the "faith" of many believers, Wang Xingfu was reduced from a "living Buddha" to a prisoner . This incident is not only an insult to Buddhism, but also a warning to us. Real religious people will never take the initiative to ask for money from believers. . Once you discover such an incident, you must seek help from the relevant departments and do not blindly get stuck in it.
It is a good thing for people to have faith, but we must know that it is better to believe in anyone than to believe in yourself, because only by being your own savior can you change your destiny.
