The State Administration for Religious Affairs said that it is very concerned about the Li Yi issue reported by the media, and is learning about the situation from the local religious departments on this matter, and the results of the investigation will be announced to the public.
According to media reports, Li Yi's Shao Long Temple, formerly known as Long Shao Temple, belongs to a Buddhist temple. 1998, the Beibei District Government of Chongqing approved the opening of Long Shao Temple and Baiyun Temple as places for orthodox Taoist religious activities.
In this regard, the State Administration for Religious Affairs said that the change of the venue for religious activities was approved by the local religious department, and the bureau is learning about the situation from the local authorities.
The State Administration of Religious Affairs said, "We also want to investigate this matter clearly and the results will be announced to the public as soon as possible."
In an interview with the media, the person in charge of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau of Beibei District of Chongqing said that the ethnic and religious affairs department of this district had specifically verified the identity of Taoist Li Yi with the Shanghai Taoist Association. According to the introduction of the Shanghai Taoist Association, in September 2000, Yi Lee did learn from Chen Liansheng, then vice president of the Chinese Taoist Association, and held an apprenticeship ceremony at the Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. Shanghai Chenghuang Temple awarded Li Yi the title of "Wan Fa Tan", and he obtained the qualification of Taoist priest.
Wang Xing, a staff member of the Shanghai Taoist Association Office, said that in 2002, the folk religious department in Beibei District of Chongqing sent a letter to the Shanghai Taoist Association, confirming Li Yi's identity.
Some media questioned that according to the Measures for the Accreditation of Taoist Faculty, faculty members should apply to the local Taoist Association for accreditation, but why did Li Yi apply to the Shanghai Taoist Association thousands of miles away? The above-mentioned staff members believe that this should not be mandatory. "Li Yi applied and we passed."
The director of the State Bureau of Religious Affairs said that individual religious people were morally bankrupt.
With the expansion of the influence of religion in social life, some religious believers have entered the public eye and begun to receive extensive attention from the society. Wang Zuoan, director of the State Bureau of Religious Affairs, said in June 18 that in the face of this situation, religious teachers should not only constantly strengthen their study and pay more attention to self-discipline, but also enhance their sense of social responsibility and maintain a good social image. The religious affairs department of the government should earnestly perform its duties, adapt to the requirements of the development of the situation, and constantly strengthen and improve the training, education and management of religious personnel. The Bureau of Religious Affairs confirmed that Li Yi's false propaganda violated the school regulations.
On August 16, Xinhua News Agency's "Xinhua Investigation" column broadcast "Another Painted Skin"? -Explore the so-called "health master" Yi Lee's "Virtual Reality" has aroused widespread concern in society. The Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau of Chongqing confirmed that Li Yi, the abbot of Shaolongguan in Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing, "lived underwater for two hours" was false propaganda, and the school charging behavior did not go through the examination and approval procedures, which did involve "three golds and three storms", and the entity under his name was ruled by the court to bear joint and several liability for repayment. According to the introduction of relevant health departments, Yi Lee, who has used "electrifying the human body" for a long time to dredge meridians and predict diseases, has not obtained medical permission from the health department.
Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau said that the charges for running a school jointly by Shao Longguan and Jinyun Mountain Institute for Nationalities were true. Jinyun Mountain National College is a private non-enterprise unit, and its charging behavior has not fulfilled the examination and approval procedures. Li Yi has been ordered to stop enrolling students to run classes and accept further in-depth investigation.
Regarding the fact that Li Yi was questioned for many years not to execute the court's judgment, the Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau said that on June 5438+0998 1, the Beibei District Association for the Promotion of Taoist Culture, which was chaired by Li Yi, signed the Agreement on the Cooperative Development of Ancillary Facilities of Taoist Temple in Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing, and agreed to develop a spiritual bone tower and a convalescent center, and then clean up the "three golds and three chaos". In the process of cleaning up the "three golds and three chaos", the People's Court of dadukou district, Chongqing, ruled that the promotion association, which added Li Yi as its president, should bear joint and several liability of * * * 2,339,900 yuan. Li has not executed the court decision for more than one year.
Yi Lee's "Underwater Survival" proved to be false propaganda. Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau said that Shao Longguan publicized Li Yi's performance of "two hours in a closed container" as "two hours underwater", which was false propaganda and had been instructed to correct it. Its "electrifying the human body" to dredge meridians and predict diseases does not belong to the traditional Taoist method, and its authenticity needs to be verified.
Shao Long Temple, formerly known as Long Shao Temple, is a Buddhist temple. Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau stated that in 1998, in order to meet the needs of Taoist believers to lead a religious life, Long Shao Temple and Baiyun Temple, which were originally Buddhist temples, were approved to be opened as venues for Taoist activities.
The Beibei District Religious Affairs Bureau also stated that the Beibei District Public Security Bureau accepted the real-name report materials of Li Yi's alleged rape of female college students according to law. After a comprehensive and in-depth investigation, there is no evidence that Li Yi is suspected of rape, and his report is inaccurate. With the scam of Li Yiyou, a Taoist priest in Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing, being stripped off layer by layer, celebrities from all walks of life who had different degrees of contacts with Li Yiyou were "dug up" one by one. Ma Yun, Faye Wong, Li ... A respected expert of the older generation of Chinese studies unexpectedly participated, and he was Tang.
Mr. Tang, aged 83, is currently a professor of philosophy at Peking University. Director of Peking University China Institute of Philosophy and Culture, doctoral supervisor. He is an authority on Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. His father is Tang Yongtong, a famous master of Chinese studies at home and abroad.
There is a plaque circulated on the Internet from Tang to Li Yi, with a photo of "Research Base of China Cultural Research Institute" written on it.
Search on the Internet shows that Tang and Li Yi have long-term business cooperation. 20 10 On July 23rd, Yi Lee Jinyun Mountain held a training course in the name of Tang. The course name is "Li Yichang's Taoist Health Course in Huangdi Neijing", the teacher is Tang, and the teaching content is "Li Yichang's Taoist Health Understanding". Although the webpage has been deleted, it can still be opened with "online snapshot".
In fact, Li Yi's "Jinyun Mountain National Studies" has long regarded academic celebrities such as Tang as a selling point. They claimed that "the college has gathered masters such as Tang, and has become a teaching base for Chinese studies and health courses in universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Renmin University".
