1. PY portrays himself as a sage who is worthy of receiving offerings

PY, throughout the years, hints to his student that he is a sage, and it is essential to stay close to a “man with knowledge of virtue” (his own translation of kalyanamitra).

He recycles quotes such as “you generate more merit by making offering to a single skin pore of your guru than to countless Buddhas in the 10 directions,” and more recently, loves to quote Chapter 11 of the Sutra Forty-Two Chapters (which incidentally, is his retreat topic this year):

Fields of Blessings
The Buddha said:
 “It is better to offer food to a single virtuous person than to one hundred evil people.
 “It is better to offer food to one who observes the Five Precepts than to one thousand virtuous people.
  “It is better to offer food to one stream-enterer than to ten thousand who observe the Five Precepts.
  “It is better to offer food to one once-returner than to one million stream-enterers.
  “It is better to offer food to one non-returner than to ten million once-returners.
  “It is better to offer food to one arhat than to one hundred million non-returners.
  “It is better to offer food to one pratyekabuddha than to one billion arhats.
 “It is better to offer food to one of the Buddhas of the three periods of time than to ten billion pratyekabuddhas.
 “It is better to offer food to one of ‘no thought’, ‘no abidance’, ‘no cultivation’, and ‘no attainment’ than to a hundred billion Buddhas of the three periods of time.”

Through this “teaching”, PY achieves 2 objectives. Firstly, he infers that he is a being beyond the level of a Buddha or pratyekabuddhas. And that making offerings to him would generate infinite merit.

By the way this should be in Buddhist discussion really.

Is he a Buddhist or Daoist? 

 

He had some interesting things to say in the video, I enjoyed it however I don't know if it would be called traditional Buddhist. 

[XianGong]

He is only using Buddhism as a decoration to scam followers, he also supposedly does martial arts and Daoist practices. He is just as much Buddhist as Daoist, and as a Martial Artist.

Reading 5-6 articles about him the guy is incredibly funny, it may not be so funny for people who wasted their life, financial resources, or mental health. The great talent of acting is dying in this guru. 

Him saying that he wears glasses, because nobody can handle his buddha eye power. 

 

His victims are wrongly and naive thinking that he is a Fake because he has no "paper" accreditation from some Buddhist Rinpoche guy. Who was not a fake, was an official guy, but however participated in the very much same shady financial transactions. 

It is not like any paper, any endorsement from any organisation is definitive proof that you deal with an accomplished saint and not a psychopath. When people learn to critically think and not blindly believe things written on a random wall, they won't get tricked so easily.
