[Buddha-l] New breed of monks on China Mainland

[Dan Lusthaus]

Here's an alternate online translation (from worldlingo), equally
unreadable, but catches some things google didn't. As the last line states:

" Therefore we need the Buddhism monk talent which one batch really lead a
pious life, practices and the dissemination Buddha mercy thought and the
altruism happy shed spirit, true causes all living things to happy,
altogether to prove the bodhi painstakingly."

big ancient temple scandals" behind

      [Looked China reported]
      After continues Guangdong "three big ancient temple scandals", this
June had "the Yuelu shan temple buddhist priest in Changsha to gang up on
the lake university student" the event. The element take the mercy as the
bosom Buddhist, the hand-hold wooden bat, the leather belt chase beats the
weaponless scholar, really hurtful.

      "The Yuelu shan temple event" also by no means accidentally, as a
result of the body for China Buddhist Association vice-chairman, the Yuelu
shan temple abbot's saint splendor buddhist priest, manages to the monk
group bad, teaches with an improper method, only then has caused these
malignant event occurrence. The saint splendor buddhist priest shoulders the
China Buddhist Association heavy duty, does not think leads a pious life,
but is using the shop sign which the patriotic love teaches, plays with the
political political skill, manipulates him the gate monk to use the temple
the special environment, forms cliques, the persecution innocent Buddhist
priest, light expels the temple, the heavy piece dismisses the monk
nationality. On at present he in the Buddhism authoritative partisan, has
already formed the huge network system. On the association president,
Guangxiao Temple's abbot Ming who takes Guangdong China Buddhist Association
Sheng the buddhist priest, he is Fu Zhuosheng the splendor influence, after
works as Guangxiao Temple's abbot, bullies Shi Miezu, acts arbitrarily,
conceited, is supercilious, does the entire Guangxiao Temple Wu Yanzhang to
be mad, did the pattern in the temple, has opened one "the manna work place"
the element eatery, how many young ladies has made the appearance person,
stood all day in the temple river mouth gathers the customer, this was a
temple, hotel? More beyond comprehension was clearly returns alive blatantly
asks a name to be called Lin Hong Ling the young widow to help him the
steward, bought a passenger vehicle for Lin Hong Ling to use for her, but
also kept a vegetarian diet the eatery to give her to manage, the pair
person related ambiguous, for covered their ears and eyes, also appointed
one to have husband and wife's trusted friend, the name is called the power
Buddhist priest to assist to manage, but the vegetarian diet price expensive
was we imagines with difficulty. Not only he does this blatantly in the
temple, in Guangzhou's flower all also "Jin Wucang double tender", says with
Buddhism's speech is "the lecture hall Tibet double Nepal" only then right.

      Regarding this, the people whoop, but also has no alternative to him,
not only he in behavior so, in morals even more hurriedly. In order to
consolidate and expands own domain and the influence, using the hand in the
authority, has wrested away Zhuhai forcefully "the Puto temple", Foshan "the
Jenshou temple", now wants to rob Zhongshan "the Xishan temple", the
persecution "the Xishan temple" the incumbent abbot buddhist priest, he such
acting in a self-serving manner, is insatiably greedy, really is ashamedly
to trains he many year predecessors the abbot! He took the province Buddhist
Association association presidents, the temple abbot, own all are a
woman-chaser inside and outside the temple, his under individual buddhist
priest accompanies egresses visits a brothel is also nothing unusual,
so-called does not put up the main beam under Liang crooked!

      Guangdong Province "three big ancient temple scandals" the event the
weekly has published east Hong Kong, has caused the global many country
Buddhism accusation. As the national Buddhist Association vice-chairman's
saint splendor buddhist priest cannot not say responsibility of the
dereliction of duty, Guangxiao Temple, a law temple and the Mt. Na temple
and so on three big ancient temple buddhist priest collectives visit a
brothel, Ming Sheng the buddhist priest is cannot get away with it, should
take the complete responsibility.

      China is one has five millennium history culture ancient nation, the
Buddhism culture affects not merely in China really deeply, moreover all is
having the indelible great influence to the entire world culture. On to the
universe vault of heaven, gets down to the mountains and rivers rivers, to
ours daily life, has appeared all Buddhism culture broad and profound.
However the Buddhist doctrine throws over the cassock in the individual body
on the human day person of high moral character body to appear actually so
palely, then how the Buddhist doctrine does depend on them in China also to
bring honor? How can the world Buddhism forum objective manifest? On July 19
holds in Guangzhou "walks west the Tang Xuanzang to travel again" the active
significance what in? Therefore we need the Buddhism monk talent which one
batch really lead a pious life, practices and the dissemination Buddha mercy
thought and the altruism happy shed spirit, true causes all living things to
happy, altogether to prove the bodhi painstakingly.
