Shaolin Temple's official announcement: Shi Yongxin is suspected of misappropriating project assets and embezzling temple assets, violating Buddhist precepts, leading a chaotic private life, and having an illegitimate child. Relevant investigations are ongoing.
Shi Yongxin's arrest was not accidental but inevitable! Ten years ago, one of his disciples reported him for having an illegitimate child and a chaotic lifestyle, even asking his disciple Shi Yanlu for 7 million yuan. (Shi Yongxin asked his disciple Shi Yanlu for money because Shi Yanlu was recruiting martial arts students in the name of Shaolin Temple, so Shi Yanlu was supposed to pay fees. However, Shi Yanlu said that the fees he collected from students were not enough to cover Shi Yongxin's demands.)
According to online information, in 2000, Shi Yongxin had already collaborated with a salesperson for developing Buddha statue molds. The salesperson met Shi Yongxin's requirements, and Shi Yongxin provided benefits to greenlight the cooperation. They worked together harmoniously for four to five years.
Therefore, although Shi Yongxin has entered the Buddhist community, his six senses are not pure at all; he shares the same desires as every layperson at all times.
Shi Yongxin seizes every opportunity, regardless of the other party's identity; as long as the other party has feelings, he will be interested, and everyone will find it convenient together.
After Shi Yongxin was arrested, those female celebrities and socialites who had been blessed by him must be wishing to disappear.
The wealthier and more influential people are, the more they believe in this spiritual sustenance. Moreover, he is a well-known abbot. Many people will print photos of themselves with Shi Yongxin and frame them beautifully to hang in the most prominent places in their homes.
On July 28, Song Zude posted a video saying that once when he visited a female celebrity's home, he saw a photo of the celebrity with Shi Yongxin hanging in the living room. The celebrity even said that she invited Master Shi Yongxin from Shaolin Temple for blessings, feeling it was an honor.
The loudmouth Song Zude also chimed in, stating that many stars in the entertainment industry have asked Shi Yongxin for blessings, but he won't go into detail about how the blessings were performed; it's quite disgusting.
Shi Yongxin not only violates the rules of the Buddhist community by engaging with women; he has many women and children around the world. These are secondary; the important thing is that he is committing a criminal offense, and Shi Yongxin is very likely to be sentenced to death.
In April 2022, Song Zude posted a message angrily denouncing the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongxin, saying that Shi Yongxin has a fat head and ears, with a fierce look in his eyes, and does not resemble a monk practicing Buddhist teachings; he looks more like a boss of a listed company.
Monks should have kind eyes and should focus on cultivation, staying away from worldly affairs. Shaolin Temple owns numerous luxury cars, and Shi Yongxin and his companions travel in luxury cars instead of walking; what kind of monk is that? A truly skilled monk should be fit and full of vitality, yet Shi Yongxin appears lethargic, needing disciples to support him on both sides while walking, and even someone to lift his robe, looking quite sickly.
Song Zude even called for the religious affairs bureau to revoke Shi Yongxin's position as abbot and stated that if a suitable candidate could not be found, he would be willing to temporarily take on the role to restore discipline at Shaolin Temple, distancing it from material desires and practicing asceticism, imposing strict penalties on violations.
A young man who volunteered at Shaolin Temple for 20 years said that during his volunteer work, he also saw Shi Yongxin, whose life is extremely luxurious. The tea he drinks is top-notch, costing thousands of yuan for a small cup, and his bed is made of golden silk nanmu wood. Shi Yongxin's life is extremely extravagant, and he is very harsh and autocratic towards others.
Will Shi Yongxin really be sentenced to death? This is still unknown; at the very least, we have to wait for the joint investigation to be completed before appealing to the court or the prosecutor's office.
No one knows exactly how much money Shi Yongxin has embezzled; we will only find out after the audit is completed. Years ago, some said he had 3 billion USD and multiple properties abroad. Shi Yongxin explained that the properties abroad were gifted by followers to facilitate accommodation for monks when they traveled.
I didn't expect that the monks at Shaolin Temple have such good treatment, being able to go abroad and live in luxury.
Shi Yongxin has been in charge of Shaolin Temple for 26 years; naturally, he won't have received little. He is likely to set a Guinness World Record!
