Former Bar Association Chairman and Religious Organization Accused of Charity Fraud Involving Billion-Dollar Disputes

The former chairman of the Bar Association, Chen Chang, and the family of the same religious organization, Li Sejong, have sent messages suggesting that the use of vaccines as a proxy to pay for alleged charity frauds involving 10.6 billion dollars has caused “mercy” and “good” for Buddhists. These messages include claims that the release of such funds has led to a “sacred” outcome, while simultaneously expressing disbelief at the extent of “mercy” being extended.

In February 2015, Professor Geng Yu, known as the “Buddhist Fighting King,” was involved in a long-standing legal dispute over the “changed land of the Tzujini Lake Protected Area.” The case, which had been ongoing for years, was argued under the names Yao Liming, Zhou Yukong, and Peng Wenzheng. Messages from the Guardian of Mercy claimed that the rejection of “evil energy” in this case would increase the risk of disease in several health systems, including cancer, stroke, endocrine, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. However, these claims were dismissed by many physicians.

The dispute over the “change of land in the Lake Tzujina Protected Area” began in 1996 and 1997 when Tzuji purchased five parts of the protected area along the successful road in the inner lake. Most of these purchases were made through covert means, with the land previously covered in vegetation. The original plan was to construct a hospital and convert the land into a social welfare and environmental park.

However, a series of disputes within Tzuji led to resistance from residents and environmental groups, who feared that the development would harm soil and water conservation and increase the risk of flooding. Concerns were also raised about the proximity of the base to the Kilolong fault line and the slopes, questioning the appropriateness and necessity of altering the protected area.

The dispute over the “change of land in the Lake Tzujina Protected Area” became a national issue, with four different mayors of Taipei—Chen Shui-bian, Ma Yin-kuk, Haroon Bin, and Kowen-chul—being involved in the controversy. The release of the “Qi-Wing curse” and the ongoing changes to the Lake Koo-chung area have drawn significant public attention.

On Facebook and in the media, individuals have publicly accused the outside world of humiliating and defending the “good economy” of charity, which was intended for public good and to save from disasters. These accusations also targeted those who criticized charity, labeling them as being “good and bad,” and suggesting that such criticism could increase the risk of disease and provoke a violent backlash.
