Mahayana Buddhism Buddhist Buddhist scriptures There is such a dialogue between Sakyamuni and the devil king Pashu in the "Dafang and the Great Collection Sutra". Mara said to Buddha : I can't defeat you now, but after your Nirvana, I will let my demons wear robes like you, dress up as people in your Buddhists, talk about your sutras, and destroy your Dharma. After you enter the destruction, fewer and fewer people believe in you, and more and more people believe in me. After saying that, Bethan looked at the Buddha and waited for his answer. But the Buddha was speechless for a long time. Long before the Buddha entered the extinction, he predicted in the "Buddha Sutra" that in the era of Dharma-Ending , chaos will arise in the world, and all evil spirits will come together, making the true path of Buddhist belief full of thorns.
Tibetan Buddhism has been very popular in recent years. From well-known artists and businessmen to ordinary people, everyone is offering to the living Buddha master, Rinpoche, to fill the spiritual emptiness. Rinpoche (Tibetan: རིན་པོ་ཆེ་, Willy's reprint: rin po che, Tibetan pinyin: Rinboqê) means "treasure" or "treasure" in Tibetan. It is the most affectionate and most respectful honorary title given to the living Buddha by the majority of Tibetan Buddhist believers. There was a joke circulating on the Internet before, saying that there are 100,000 free-range Rinpoches in Chaoyang District, Beijing, which is the area with the highest content of living Buddhas in the universe. Among these Rinpoches, 99% are fake living Buddhas.
In early 2021, a living Buddha, Lausanne, really became a hot search. However, this living Buddha did not come from Chaoyang District, but from Jinan. In February 2021, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Jinan Intermediate People's Court. The Living Buddha became a criminal, which at first sounds incredible, but after exploring it deeply, you will find that the plot behind it is magical. In August 2016, a letter of complaint from Nanning, Guangxi caused a stir on the Internet. The whistleblower said: A living Buddha in Ganzi, Sichuan Province, deceived her for 10 years, cheated money and sex, and wanted to sue him, what should I do? Immediately afterwards, another post appeared on Zhihu , titled: I would like to ask how the Tibetan Living Buddha is defined, and is there any Living Buddha Luosang Danzhen?
pointed the finger at Master Luosang Danzhen. At that time, Luosang Danzhen had been preaching the country in the name of the reincarnated living Buddha for nearly 10 years. The "Application Institute of Ancient Yoga Theory" was established, and 8 temples were established to explain scriptures to believers, and their followers have spread across more than 20 provinces. Religion is solemn, and Tibetan Buddhism is even more mysterious. How could a master cheat people? This post shocked everyone.
Soon, the Oruo Temple in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, where Lausang Danzhen belongs, released a situation investigation report, saying that the report letter was malicious slander. The temples all spoke, and the reported posts were deleted, so no one could say anything else. But just as everything was about to end, the police realized something was wrong and began to investigate. This so-called Tibetan Buddhist living Buddha Luosang Danzhen is not a monk at all, not even a Tibetan. His original name is Wang Xingfu, a Han nationality, and was born in Shandong in 1955.
Since I was young, Wang Xingfu was a restless person. After graduating from technical secondary school, he was assigned to Jinan Prison and became a public official. At that time, government work was a hot topic, and his relatives and friends were very envious of him. Originally, Wang Xingfu was also extremely satisfied with his iron rice bowl, but the qigong fever in the late 1980s and early 1990s gave Wang Xingfu other ideas. In that "crazy" era, everyone felt that Qigong had an incredible power. Taking advantage of this east wind, Wang Xingfu started to run a qigong class and made a lot of money. At this time, in addition to his job, he had another identity: a master of Qigong.
Wang Xingfu was used to seeing all kinds of social people coming and going in prison, and he also found the way to get rich from them. He knew very well that if he wanted to stand out from various qigong classes, he had to have his own uniqueness. Therefore, Wang Xingfu targeted Buddhist beliefs and selected the Tibetan Buddhism "Tanishism" that was a relatively niche at that time from many factions, creating a mysterious inheritor for himself. Afterwards, he created a set of "Tanishism Heart-cleaning Practice" and began to start a class to recruit disciples.With this mysterious robe, in that era when the average monthly salary of less than 100 yuan, Wang Xingfu quickly lived a prosperous life of 7,000 yuan a month and made his first pot of gold in his life.
1997, Wang Xingfu was fired from Jinan Prison for long-term absenteeism. However, for him, who has gained both fame and fortune, he really doesn't like the small amount of money in public office. He thought to himself, just fire it, just fire it, just be able to develop his career wholeheartedly. However, at this moment, the Qigong industry is at its end.
In July 2007, Wang Xingfu knocked on the door of Lama Lu Rong, the Oruo Temple in Ganzi. Lu Rong was the apprentice of Master Gong Zhi, the abbot of Oruo Temple. Master Gong Zhi was quite famous in Ganzi Prefecture at that time. At this time, Master Gongzhi was old and the one who was actually in charge of the matter was his apprentice Lu Rong. In front of Lu Rong, Wang Xingfu claimed to be a "people of practicing", "If you can't learn anything else, you will be different when you study Buddhism, and you will understand it by learning it." He also said that he had attended a Dharma Assembly held by Oruo Temple and respected Master Gongzhi, the abbot of the temple, and wanted to learn Buddhism by becoming a disciple.
At the beginning, Gong Zhi and his disciple Lu Rong ignored him. However, Wang Xingfu, relying on the wealth accumulated in his early years and his believers, spent a lot of money to "support" to the temples and donated money and materials to local Tibetans. What impressed Lu Rong was that during a conversation, he accidentally mentioned that the temple was dilapidated and wanted to repair the main hall. Wang Xingfu expressed his support on the spot: "I have many disciples in the Han area. My disciples and I can beg for alms to build the hall." In the next six months, Wang Xingfu donated hundreds of thousands of yuan in repair money. In order to become a disciple, Wang Xingfu also vowed to say that although he had a wife and children, he had seen through the world and had cut off relations with his family. He wanted to become a monk at Oruo Temple. During this period, Master Gongzhi fell seriously ill, and Wang Xingfu specially invited famous doctors from the Han area to rush to Yuruo Temple for consultation. After a while, Gong Zhi and Lu Rong were moved by Wang Xingfu.
At the end of 2007, Wang Xingfu finally got his wish and held a master apprenticeship ceremony at Oruo Temple, becoming the only Han disciple of Master Gongzhi. Gongzhi personally ordained him and gave him the Dharma name "Lausang Danzhen". Afterwards, Wang Xingfu proposed to apply for a "Aga Certificate". "Aga Certificate" is also the "Tibetan Buddhist Certificate", which is equivalent to the ID card of a Tibetan Buddhist monk.
With this evidence, Wang Xingfu can legally engage in alms beggars, missionary and other activities as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Because of Wang Xingfu's Han nationality, applying for the "Aga Certificate" encountered obstacles. However, under the unblocking of Lu Rong, the local village committee of Ganzi Prefecture helped Wang Xingfu re-enter the household registration certificate materials. After that, Lu Rong helped Wang Xingfu forged two fake Tibetan ID cards, Luosang Danzhen and Jiangbalusang Danzhen. With a fake ID card, Lu Rong issued a certificate from the monks of the Oruo Temple to Wang Xingfu, and helped him successfully apply for the "Aga Certificate" in the Religious Bureau. In this way, Wang Xingfu transformed from a "Qigong master" in the 1980s and 1990s to a lama of Tibetan Buddhism.
Being rich can not only make ghosts push the mill, but also make ordinary people become Buddhas on the spot. In September 2008, in order to thank Wang Xingfu for his huge "providing" to Oruo Temple, Gong Zhi and Lu Rong held a "bed-sitting ceremony" for him in violation of regulations. The bed sitting ceremony is an important religious ceremony for the reincarnation of the Lama Living Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism. The "bed" here can only sit, not lie down, which is very different from the bed we usually call it for sleeping. "As a bed, the seat is everywhere", the "bed" and "seat" in Buddhist scriptures are often common. In the process of inheriting the living Buddha, "Sitting on the bed" represents the reincarnation of the spiritual child, ascending to the throne of the previous life, and inheriting the previous life law system.
From September 5 to September 7, 2008, under the arrangement of Gongzhi and Lu Rong, Wang Xingfu held a grand bed-sitting ceremony at four temples including Oruo Temple and Mengge Temple in Ganzi Prefecture. "Laosang Danzhen" wearing a cassock sat upright on the throne of the main hall. The monks and male and female believers respectfully presented him with Hada and recited the scriptures of Longevity and Peace for him. After this operation, the Luosang Danzhen transformed into the "Laosang Danzhen Living Buddha" and made a name nationwide.
The whole set of dramas was played, and Wang Xingfu also filmed the entire bed sitting ceremony and burned it into a CD of "The Record of the Living Buddha Sitting on the Bed" to spread it among the disciples. He also asked the disciples who understand PS to edit their photos and make a picture of a master sitting upright on the lotus platform with Buddha light on his head.
Everything is ready, just like that, Wang Xingfu and Lu Rong: One clearly does not believe in Buddhism, but wants to make a fortune with the power of faith; the other knows that the other is a liar, but still uses the excuse of faith to help him cheat. From then on, the co-starring brothers embarked on the road to getting rich together.
Since 2008, Wang Xingfu has successively established 8 core temples in Shenyang, Beijing, Jinan, Chengdu and other places. Each core temple has branch temples at all levels. Soon, Wang Xingfu developed more than 3,000 disciples in more than 20 provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country. Each disciple has to hand over to Wang Xingfu every year. As the believer team grew, in order to manage the team, Wang Xingfu also appointed "liaison officers", "assistant officers" and "counselors" in dojos throughout the country. Whenever he went to a place, the local liaison officer was responsible for summoning disciples to listen to the master's teachings. The assistants are responsible for collecting the offerings of their disciples. The counselor is responsible for helping the disciples learn Wang Xingfu's "Farework". By around 2010, the dojos in Jinan, Shenyang, Chengdu, Xiamen, Guangxi and other places had formed a complete "three-member management system".
Every year, Wang Xingfu would bring believers from all over the country to visit Oruo Temple with great fanfare. At this time, the double act between Wang Xingfu and Lu Rong began. Lu Rong was responsible for giving Wang Xingfu the highest standard reception and performing his tricks. Local Tibetans sang and danced in the temple. Lu Rong also asked Wang Xingfu to sit in the abbot's position in the hall, while he was willing to be a green leaf next to him. When believers saw Wang Xingfu's status so high, they were even more convinced that they were following the right person.
In order to facilitate making money, Wang Xingfu fabricated various amazing charging items, including converting to Buddhism, apprenticeship of teachers, taking precepts, seeking Dharma name, etc., all of which require payment. He fabricated a "Supreme Secret Yoga Dharma Book" and divided his Dharma teaching course into four levels. The first-level initiation projects charge between 300 and 800 yuan, and the first-level entire process costs about 2,000 yuan. The entire process of the second-level initiation is more complicated, with a charge of about 12,000 yuan. Wang Xingfu asked his disciples to follow the "upgrading and fighting monsters" procedure, progressing from level one to level four. If you want to listen to all the courses, the total cost is more than 50,000 yuan.
He also has a set of professional money-making tactics. What "This money is not for me, but for Buddha. In the future, it will cost money to build temples across the country!" "I am a field of blessings. If you give me money, it means planting a seed and harvesting a whole crop in the future!"
Wang Xingfu warned his disciples that if you want to achieve the state of perfect cultivation, you must take refuge in the master and regard the master's words as the highest command. The amount of offering is to see the attitude towards the Dharma, and the other is to see the attitude towards the master. In addition, Wang Xingfu also established Shandnima Company in the name of a disciple, specializing in selling his surroundings. What are the Dharma books, CDs, magic tools, photos of the image of Wang Xingfu Buddha, Thangkas, etc. Some clearly mark the price, while others require the disciples to "please" themselves. How much money is to pay depends on the disciples' wishes.
A cloisonne vase sold for more than 100 yuan online. Wang Xingfu tied a red silk cloth on the mouth of the bottle and gave it a high-end name, which became the "Dragon King Treasure Vase", which sold for several thousand yuan. If the mineral water bottle is decorated with unknown yellow liquid, it becomes a bottle of "nectar water" that is hard to find.The legal person of the company is not Wang Xingfu, and if something goes wrong, he will not be the first responsible person. He is wearing a cassock and busy walking around the country all year round. He preaches and preaches the Dharma and can be called a daily wage of gold. In the spotlight, he is an image of a monk who lives in poverty all day and is dedicated to Buddha. Living in a private house built 40 years ago in Jinan, the house is full of Buddhist sacred objects. But in fact, he bought 12 properties across the country, including a luxurious villa in Chengdu with a total area of more than 1,000 square meters, with the decoration of the villa being extremely luxurious.
While Wang Xingfu was making money crazy, his junior brother Lu Rong was also responsible for the aftermath work. For example, the letter of complaint we mentioned in 2016 just now. Before the believers could react, Lu Rong issued a statement in the name of the Oruo Temple Civil Management Committee, supporting Wang Xingfu, saying that the Living Buddha of Luosang Danzhen "never cares for himself or seeks fame and reputation, and is a pure and selfless master." In return, Wang Xingfu remitted nearly 50 million yuan to Lurong through bank cards or cash.
There are also disciples who have doubted the true identity of the Living Buddha of Lausang Danzhen. In 2016, Wang Xingfu held a birthday party, and his wife and son were both here. Wang Xingfu himself was wearing casual clothes, not like a monk, but like a boss who started a company. The dining table is filled with famous wines such as Maotai and Wuliangye. Some disciples were puzzled, how could the master drink, how could he have a wife and children? Other believers quickly explained that the master only became a disciple and converted to Tibetan Buddhism after marrying his wife and having children, so don’t ask about the master.
At a dojo conference in 2017, Wang Xingfu publicly accused the believers in Jinan of being not generous enough and a little stingy. This makes more people feel uncomfortable. How could a true Buddhist study say such things? Wang Xingfu claimed to be a living Buddha of the Gelug Sect, but he almost did not do the Five Precepts of Buddhism that do not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, and drink alcohol.
also means that the highest level of Buddhism is to not distinguish between good and evil: "Those things that do not kill are too attached. Master will give you some convenience and you can go and find things to kill." Wang Xingfu distorted and fabricated the concept of the "Six Ways of Vajra Mantra" in Buddhism, claiming that the fish that have been "blessed" by himself can be killed and eaten, and the wine that has been blessed by himself has turned into nectar water, and drinking it can purify the body. Speaking of this, someone will definitely ask, how could anyone believe such a ridiculous remark? Then we have to mention that Wang Xingfu has had mental control over believers.
Every believer who converts to Wang Xingfu will receive a self-made conversion certificate by Wang Xingfu. The lower right corner of the document is the stamp of the seal of the Oru Temple, and the document contains the poisonous oath issued by the believer: Never betray the master, never betray the way, if you disobey the wishes, be willing to be hit by the five thunder, be bitten to death by a snake, drowned by a water, be hit by a car, etc., are the most feared ways of death by believers, and they are retribution in this life. Tibetan Buddhism is divided into "exoteric school" and "tantric school". People who study Buddhism usually study the exoteric school for several years, or even decades, constantly working with the master, and even can question or change the master. However, once you pass the assessment of the "Exoteric Sect" stage and enter the "Tanish Sect" learning stage, disciples must fully follow the teachings of the master they have identified in the "Exoteric Sect" stage.
Wang Xingfu took advantage of the close relationship between disciples and masters in "Tanishism" that made believers willingly control themselves by him. Wang Xingfu's understanding of Tibetan Buddhism is completely unfamiliar to professionals. For example, he would declare to his disciples that "Sakya Mani is the Buddha of the past, I am the Buddha of the present, and only I can save you in the Dharma-Ending Age." However, these superficial and superficial concepts of Buddhism have deceived one ignorant and eager to achieve success. Wang Xingfu kept brainwashing his disciples and said that his incorrect faith in the master was the greatest sin. Looking at the horror in the eyes of the disciples, he knew that his purpose had been achieved.
According to the recollection of a victim female believer, in 2008, she was eager to seek spiritual outlets due to the dual pressure of work and life, so she converted to Wang Xingfu. One day, Wang Xingfu said that he would bless her alone, so he made an appointment with her to the hotel room.When he saw the master who was wearing casual clothes, the female disciple knelt down as usual and kowtowed to the master. But when the female disciple talked about the situation at home, Wang Xingfu interrupted her impatiently and said: I have also said before that as a disciple, one must offer his body, speech, and mind to his master. You have also vowed to be Master’s “Ruyi Dharma Tool”, and I will bless you today. You must know that this kind of blessing is rare, you must cherish it.
After saying that, he went to take off the female disciple's clothes.
The female disciple was so scared that she cried and kowtowed and said: Master, why are you like this? I can’t understand.
Wang Xingfu said angrily: I have already told you very clearly, why don’t you understand?
Because of the poisonous oath, the female disciple was worried that she would be backfired and could only obey.
Taoist meeting, Wang Xingfu even publicly stated: The master holds hands to you a little and touches his face, and you begin to have a distinction between men and women, the secular difference. Your stinky body has gone through so many cycles and has been polluted by so much. The master blesses you to purify you. You actually have a distinction between men and women in the secular world. Does Master still care about you?
is to use this fallacy that Wang Xingfu forcibly bullied at least 8 female believers. On the day of his arrest, the police found condoms, Indian divine oil, as well as a small notebook, which recorded the phone calls of more than 100 female disciples. In front of the police, Wang Xingfu started his performance and kept slapping himself in the face, saying that I was shameless and that I had sinned. I regret it very much now.
I have to say that Wang Xingfu does have his unique features in controlling people's hearts, but unfortunately he has not used it right. I have committed many crimes such as cheating, making money, making fraud, and being lustful. I don’t know whether the Buddha will let him go after Wang Xingfu’s death, but the responsibility of the law is to make him pay the price for his crime every day he lives.
In 2016, after the letter of complaint appeared on the Internet, the victim also called Lu Rong, hoping that he could uphold justice. Previously, Lu Rong only knew that Wang Xingfu used his believers to make money, but he didn't know that he had done such a crazy thing to his female disciples. After Lu Rong's repeated inquiries, Wang Xingfu admitted that he had started to touch female disciples a few years ago and had had relationships with several of them. Lu Rong was very angry after hearing this, but he did not want something to happen to Wang Xingfu. Because once something happens to Wang Xingfu, the Oruo Temple will not only lose a large amount of support funds, but also the temple and Lu Rong's own reputation will be implicated.
Lu Rong symbolically asked Wang Xingfu to repent in front of Lingta , and warned him that if he committed another crime, he would not be qualified to be a monk. Then there was nothing... In fact, Lu Rong understood early in the morning that what Wang Xingfu said was not serious Tibetan Buddhism, but as long as Wang Xingfu kept providing support to the temple, such practice would not be a problem in his opinion. However, this pair of brothers who were in a turmoil could deceive believers but failed to hide it from the police.
In June 2017, Wang Xingfu was arrested by the police for suspected of using a cult organization to undermine the implementation of the law, illegal business operations, rape, and forced indecent assault. In Wang Xingfu's luxury villa, the police also seized a large amount of cash, various bank cards, gold bars, as well as high-end luxury goods and famous wines. Seven days before being arrested, Wang Xingfu was still receiving support from his disciples in various names. In just 7 days, the amount of money accumulated was as high as 470,000 yuan. After auditing, Wang Xingfu has illegally amassed 198 million yuan in wealth over the past decade.
Wang Xingfu also has a strange hobby, which is that he likes to collect newer banknotes. If the disciple had brand new banknotes in the offerings he gave him, he would not be willing to deposit them in the bank, but instead picked them out, tied them with rubber bands, and put them in a safe. He said that his family was not in good condition when he was a child, so he was happy to see new money when he grew up and liked it.
Just by looking at his proud face, you can know how greedy Wang Xingfu is. In February 2021, the Jinan Intermediate People's Court made the final judgment of in this case. The fake living Buddha Wang Xingfu was sentenced to 25 years in prison and a fine of 20 million yuan.Lu Rong was sentenced to 6 years in prison. Several core backbones in the Wang Xingfu cult organization were also punished by law.
pretending to be a master and cheating. Wang Xingfu is not the first one, nor will he be the last one. While Jinan was solving the Wang Xingfu case, Shenzhen police also solved a fake living Buddha case with the same bad nature and very similar case. The protagonist of the case is named Yang Hongchen . Since 2003, he has forged his Tibetan identity and his experience of becoming a monk, lied that he was a Tibetan Buddhist monk from Labrang Monastery in Gannan, and has cheated around the country, developing more than 50 "believers" including minors. Most of the believers are middle-aged women with good financial conditions, and some even "convert" their families. Similar tricks are no different not only in China, but also in the whole world.
Show everyone such a photo, guess what the relationship is with the people in the photo. Is this a girl school student? Choir? Or a parent-teacher meeting? Congratulations, you guessed it wrong. Their real identity is: a man and his 78 wives, 56 of whom are sisters, 24 are under 17 years old, and the youngest is only 12 years old. This man is Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Mormon Foundation Sect (FLDS), the most notorious cult leader in the United States. In 1930, Warren's father Rulon Jeffs founded the Mormon Foundation Sect (FLDS) in , Utah. The church declares that "a man must marry more than three wives to go to heaven. Only those who are polygamous can become God."
"The more wives you have, the more you have, the higher your status in heaven."
"A man should obey his husband, just like obeying the Lord."
"The only way for a woman to go to heaven is to meet any needs of her husband."
"Lulun controls the basic sect of Mormon for decades, marrying 75 wives and 65 children in his life.
In 2002, Lulun passed away in a stroke. Before his death, he chose his heir - son Warren Jeffs (Warren Jeffs). From then on, Warren became the head of a new generation of cults. He not only inherited all the trust funds of the church, but also married 29 beautiful wives left by his father. In 2008, Warren was arrested by U.S. police. In 2011, he was sentenced to for life in prison for .
There is nothing wrong with faith itself. The mistake is that in this world of material desires, people with ulterior motives regard faith as a tool to satisfy their own selfish desires. With the development of society, although people's material life has been greatly improved, it cannot conceal the spiritual emptiness.
In the 5th century BC, Siddhartha, the prince of the ancient Indian state of Kapilava, founded Buddhism and was later honored as Shakyamuni Buddha. When Shakyamuni Buddha decided to become a monk, he abandoned the noble status of the prince and the life of the palace of luxury and food. But now "sacrificing for Buddha" is regarded by modern people as a means of "building a circle of interests."
Among Wang Xingfu's more than 3,000 believers, many of them are successful people in society, including university professors and corporate chairman. How did these people be deceived by Wang Xingfu's seemingly ridiculous tricks? This photo may answer this question.
If there is a chance to attend this dinner in the photo, will you go or not? I think many people's answers are yes. Even if you serve tea and water, you have to go, because there will be more opportunities to make you successful. To be clear, I am not saying that the big guys in the photo are Wang Xingfu's followers, just to give an example.
At the beginning, one or two senior officials may have believed the so-called master's nonsense for some reason, but they will attract more senior officials and business celebrities. Gradually, a circle of fame and fortune will be formed around the master. Napoleon has a famous saying: What I see in religion is not the mystery of reincarnation, but the mystery of social order. This sentence should become today: What I see in religion is not the mystery of reincarnation, but money, power, and power.
It is a good thing to have faith, but true faith is based on respecting life and respecting human nature, and can also give life goals and meaning. Buddha cannot save people, and people still need to save themselves.
