有着1500年建成历史和3000僧侣之居的中原少林寺，因其信奉禅宗佛教和练习武术的传统而扬名。
Since last weekend, however, a self-identified Shaolin insider has posted a series of explosive allegations on Chinese social media, depictingAbbot Shi Yongxin as an embezzler and womanizer with illegitimate children.
自上个周末以来，一位自称是少林寺知情人士的“释正义”在中国社交媒体上发文曝料少林寺方丈释永信侵占少林寺财产，沉溺女色且有私生子。
