BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua) — The China Buddhist Society said Monday it has agreed to revoke the ordination certificate of Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin, who is suspected of committing criminal offenses.

Shi Yongxin, 59, is being investigated for embezzlement and misappropriation of temple projects and property. He also faces charges of serious violations of Buddhist precepts, including maintaining long-term inappropriate relationships with multiple women and fathering at least one child out of wedlock.

The Shaolin Monastery, located in Henan Province, central China, is famous throughout the world for its deep-rooted kung fu tradition. -0-
