就金女有6個月在在加勒比海某地-那不就是說金女有半年是躲開P島零下10度的天氣,到較溫暖的地區生活呀~這樣養尊處優的金女,竟還有一群福僧說金女是含辛茹苦和為了要追隨金女,故要信施或學員護持他們的旅費與生活費的飛奔加拿大P島-台灣福團的僧俗,真是該醒了吧!為何金女都是跟著隨侍福僧住,不跟P島的福尼住呢?

RE-[KEVIN J. ARSENAULT議員 #6的發文] 真如大師(金女)每年有6個月住在加勒比海某地，其餘6個月住在艾德華王子島。
@...>就金女有6個月在在加勒比海某地-那不就是說金女有半年是躲開P島零下10度的天氣,到較溫暖的地區生活呀~ 這樣養尊處優的金女,竟還有一群福僧說金女是含辛茹苦 和為了要追隨金女 故要信施或學員護持他們的旅費與生活費的飛奔加拿大P島-台灣福團的僧俗,真是該醒了吧!
[PS:加勒比海的氣候受到墨西哥灣暖流及秘魯寒流等洋流的影響[6]。由於地處熱帶，因此海的溫度維持在較溫暖的溫度，各季的最低溫在21-29 C°之間。加勒比海是西半球常出現熱帶氣旋的地區。]
RE-[K議員說] 當她(金女)在PEI的時候，她並沒有和GWBI的尼眾們住在一起，她在一個巨大的建築群裡面建有自己的 "公寓"，她和一群非常親密的 "馬可和尚 "和兩個全職的私人侍者住在一起（關於馬可和尚，我將在以後的文章中詳細解釋）。
@...>”兩個全職的私人侍者” 是福僧,還是女侍呢? 希望以後可以看到更詳細的報導或揭發!
RE-[K議員說] 我嘗試著拍了一張靠近寺院的福智總部和真如大師的家。不幸的是，這是一個封閉的建築群..去谷歌地球看看鳥瞰圖會有什麼發現。解析度不是很高，但主樓後面停車場的汽車 提供了一個很好的衡量標準，可以準確地瞭解建築物的大小和範圍。
@...>看到有4部大驕車在停車場 (那是說金女的住處,起碼有4部以上的驕車吧) 那大概有20上下的馬可僧住在那吧!

MONKILEAKS EPISODE #6: PUTTING DOWN ROOTS
DECEMBER 6, 2020
KEVIN J. ARSENAULT BUDDHISTS
[@依網路英翻中的翻譯機 ]
PREAMBLE序言
You’ll be happy to hear that I’m going to honour my commitment to give you
a short, but important, part of the picture concerning Bliss and Wisdom in
PEI…no more mini-books.
你會很高興地聽到，我將履行我的承諾，給你一個簡短但重要的部分，關於PEI的幸福和智慧的圖片......沒有更多的迷你書。
This series has captured the attention of two significant audiences: one
in PEI; the other in Taiwan. The PEI audience is mostly comprised of Island
residents living in Eastern PEI; the Taiwanese audience is Bliss and Wisdom
monks, nuns and laity who likely wouldn’t be able to find PEI on a map.
There are quite different perspectives and interests with each audience;
so much so, that the very same information is likely to be shocking to both
audiences for entirely different reasons.
這個系列吸引了兩個重要受眾的注意：一個在艾德華王子島，另一個在臺灣。PEI的聽眾主要是居住在PEI東部的島民；臺灣的聽眾是福慧和尚、尼姑和教友，他們很可能在地圖上找不到PEI。
每位聽眾的觀點和興趣都有很大的不同，以至於同樣的資訊很可能因為完全不同的原因而讓兩位聽眾感到震驚。
Take this episode, for example, which focuses on the PEI property and land
purchases of Master Zhenru and her family. It has a short introduction, then
provides (1) a family tree, identifying members of Master Zhenru’s immediate
family and her powerful landlord; (2) information concerning Bliss and Wisdom’s
secretive Global Headquarters, where Master Zhenru lives inside a house inside
a complex like two Russian dolls, tucked cozily in the woods of Eastern PEI
behind a steel gate; and (3) Geolinc charts of the PEI land and property
holdings, as well as some corporate connections of Master Zhenru and some info
on the family members who now own a chunk of PEI.
以本集為例，本集主要介紹了真如大師及其家人在PEI的房產和土地購買情況。它有一個簡短的介紹，然後提供了（1）家譜，確定了真如大師的直系親屬和她的強勢地主的身份；（2）有關福慧雙全全球總部的資訊，真如大師住在一個像兩個俄羅斯娃娃一樣的建築群裡面的房子裡，愜意地躲在PEI東部的樹林裡，在一個鐵門後面。(3)PEI的土地和財產持有情況的Geolinc圖表，以及真如大師的一些公司關係，還有現在擁有PEI一塊土地的家族成員的一些資訊。
Introduction
Since it’s been a while since my last article in this series, let’s begin
by summing up a few of the most important insights and understandings about
Master Zhenru and Bliss and Wisdom published in that last episode.
介紹
由於距離我上一次寫這個系列的文章已經有一段時間了，我們先來總結一下上一集發表的關於真如大師和福智的幾個最重要的見解和理解。
1. GWBI and GEBIS – although each are incorporated in Canada – are one and
the same with Bliss and Wisdom. They represent “global extensions” of Bliss and
Wisdom Corporation, Inc.
GWBI和GEBIS -- -- 雖然它們都在加拿大註冊 -- -- 但它們與福智是同一個公司。它們是福智公司的 "全球延伸"
2. Monks and nuns in PEI (GWBI, GEBIS, Compassion and Grace Institute,
etc.), as well as Bliss and Wisdom laity, all regard themselves as part of the
same monastic family, and all regard Master Zhenru as their spiritual leader;
艾德華王子島的僧尼(GWBI、GEBIS、慈悲恩典學院等)，以及福智的教友，都把自己看作是同一個僧侶家庭的一部分，都把真如大師看作是他們的精神領袖。
3. Monks and nuns in PEI follow the same teachings and rule as their Bliss
and Wisdom counterparts in Taiwan;
艾德華王子島的僧侶和尼姑與臺灣的福智僧侶遵循同樣的教義和規則。
4. Monks and nuns in PEI are part of the Bliss and Wisdom development plan
for the relocation of their Headquarters from Taiwan to PEI;
艾德華王子島的僧侶和尼姑是他們總部從臺灣搬遷到艾德華王子島的福智發展計畫的一部分。
5. Monks and nuns in PEI all draw from the same pool of donations coming
from the same Bliss and Wisdom followers (laity). Those funds are expended in
support of the same development projects; and 100% of Bliss and Wisdom’s
revenue source is donations.
艾德華王子島的僧侶和尼姑都從同樣的 "福智 "信徒（教友）的捐款中提取資金。這些資金用於支援同樣的發展項目；福智會的收入來源100%是捐款。
Bliss and Wisdom followers outside of PEI have about the same degree of
information concerning what Bliss and Wisdom is up to in Prince Edward Island
as Islanders have about what Bliss and Wisdom is doing in Taiwan. In fact,
Islanders didn’t realize that the Buddhists coming to PEI are all Bliss and
Wisdom monks and nuns until very recently.
Similarly, PEI residents know very little about the rules and expectations
of the culture of the Bliss and Wisdom Buddhist family in Taiwan. We know next
to nothing of the dynamic relationships and cultural norms and practices that
hold this Buddhist family together in community, accountable both to those
rules and expectations, and to one another.
艾德華王子島以外的信眾 對艾德華王子島的福智的瞭解程度，與島民對臺灣的福智的瞭解程度差不多。事實上，直到最近，島民們才知道來艾德華王子島的佛教徒都是福智和尚和尼姑。
同樣，PEI居民對臺灣福智佛教家庭文化的規則和期望也知之甚少。我們對將這個佛教家庭團結在一起，對這些規則和期望以及對彼此負責的動態關係、文化規範和做法幾乎一無所知。
Islanders are primarily concerned about the Buddhists buying PEI land. I
suspect Taiwanese followers could care less if Master Zhenru and her family buy
land in PEI – unless they found out it was with donations designated for the
monastery that is being constructed back in Taiwan, a “mega-monastery” to hold
over 1,000 monks.
No, Buddhists in Taiwan are likely to be far more concerned with what all
those individual land purchases by Master Zhenru says about the likelihood that
their leader is putting down roots in PEI and ain’t coming home anytime soon!
島民主要關心的是佛教徒購買PEI的土地。我猜測臺灣的信眾不會關心真如法師和她的家人是否在PEI買地--除非他們發現那是用捐款指定給正在臺灣興建的寺院，一座可以容納1000多名僧人的 "超級寺院"。
不，臺灣的佛教徒可能更關心的是，真如法師的那些個人購地行為，說明他們的領袖有可能在PEI紮根，而且短期內不會回家。
Islanders were led to believe that the Buddhist monks and nuns were going
to simply build a couple of monasteries in PEI. No one ever imagined that the
monks and nuns were part of an international organization with over 100,000 lay
followers, many who would be interested in PEI from afar as investors, others
anxious to come play on our Island (then buy a bunch of it).
The information in this article will be of significant concern to
Islanders when they see the total acreage already purchased by just this one
powerful Buddhist family. There are many others!
島民們認為，佛教僧侶和尼姑只是要在艾德華王子島建造幾座寺院。沒有人想到這些僧尼是一個國際組織的一部分，他們有超過10萬的俗家信徒，很多人作為投資者從遠方對PEI感興趣，還有一些人急於來我們島上玩（然後買下一堆土地）。
當島民們看到僅這一個強大的佛教家族已經購買的總面積時，這篇文章中的資訊將是島民們非常關注的。還有很多其他的人!
The purchase of so much property by people “cloistered” and supposedly
living simple lives of prayer makes no sense to Islanders. It raises major red
flags about what is really behind the plans of the Buddhists. It makes
Islanders wonder what will be in store for the future of PEI if those ambitions
are left unchecked.
Bliss and Wisdom followers in Taiwan may not be aware that Master Zhenru
and her family are putting down some pretty deep roots in PEI.
"隱居 "並據稱過著簡單祈禱生活的人購買這麼多財產，對島民來說毫無意義[@很說不過去]。這讓人對佛教徒的計畫背後的真實情況產生了懷疑。這讓島民們不禁要問，如果這些野心不受控制，PEI的未來會怎樣。
臺灣的福智信徒可能不知道，真如大師和她的家人在艾德華王子島紮下了很深的根基。
Zhenru is the leader of Bliss and Wisdom, an international network of
affiliated manifestations or “international extensions” of Bliss and Wisdom,
with incorporated entities in over 50 countries throughout the world: Home base
was always Taiwan, and my sense is that Bliss and Wisdom followers in Taiwan
expect that to continue to be the case.
There are many other incorporated monasteries (Compassion and Grace
Institute; Guam Yin; etc.) and charitable organizations (Moonlight
International, etc.) registered in PEI as independent corporate entities
(declaring no affiliation with an International organization in their annual
Charitable Tax Returns), but are all members of Bliss and Wisdom Corporation
Inc., all drawing from the same pool of donations (from parishioners in Taiwan
mostly), all part of the same Master-(Zhenru)-plan to establish global headquarters
for Bliss and Wisdom Corporation Inc. in PEI.
真如是 "福智 "的領導人，"福智公司 "是一個由福智的附屬表現或 "國際延伸 "組成的國際網路，在全世界50多個國家都有法人實體：大本營一直是臺灣，我的感覺是臺灣的福智信徒期望繼續如此。
還有許多其他註冊的寺院（慈悲恩典學院、觀音社等）和慈善組織（月光國際等）在艾德華王子島註冊為獨立的法人實體（在他們的年度慈善報稅表中聲明與國際組織沒有關係），但都是福智股份有限公司的成員。所有的捐款都來自同一個捐款池（主要來自臺灣的教友），所有的捐款都是同一個總計畫的一部分，即在艾德華王子島建立福智公司的全球總部。
After my last article was published, I was contacted by several former
Bliss and Wisdom monks, each living in three different countries: Argentina,
the United States, and Taiwan. The monk from Taiwan wrote a long, detailed,
well-referenced, and VERY informative letter offering to assist me with the
research on a go-forward basis. Amazing!
I asked for a photo of a name that I can’t pronounce properly, and 10
minutes later I’m downloading it, then uploading and importing it into an
article (this one).
Thanks immensely to “you know who you are” [a good Buddhist Bud of mine
now, who will remain anonymous, for what I hope you’ll agree are reasons that
don’t need to be provided].
在我上一篇文章發表後，有幾位前福智和尚與我聯繫，他們分別住在三個不同的國家。阿根廷、美國和臺灣。
來自臺灣的僧人寫了一封長長的、詳細的、有參考價值的、內容非常豐富的信，表示願意協助我繼續進行研究。厲害了!
我要求提供一個我念不好的名字的照片，10分鐘後，我就把照片下載下來，然後上傳並導入一篇文章(這篇)。
非常感謝 "你知道你是誰" [我現在的一個好佛友，他不願意透露姓名，我希望你能同意，原因不需要提供]。
One paragraph in his email was of particular importance. It corroborated
the same sense I had (which I’m still investigating), that there is GREAT
confusion about what Master Zhenru and Bliss and Wisdom are planning for the
future, not only in PEI apparently, but back home in Taiwan as well.
To be clear, Master Zhenru is not a nun and is not subject to vows of
obedience or poverty. In fact, none of the people I’m putting on her immediate
family tree in this episode are Buddhist monks and nuns. They haven’t taken a
vow of poverty and are free to purchase property as far as Buddhist rules go,
which many of them have done with gusto.
他的電子郵件中有一段話特別重要。它證實了我的同樣感覺（我還在調查中），那就是對於真如大師和福智對未來的規劃有很大的困惑，不僅在PEI，而且在臺灣的家鄉也是如此。
要說明的是，真如大師不是尼姑，也不需要發願順從或貧窮。事實上，在這一集裡，我給她的直系親屬譜上的人，沒有一個是佛教的和尚和尼姑。他們沒有發過貧窮的誓言，就佛教的規矩來說，他們可以自由地購買房產，很多人都是興致勃勃地購買。
I put together this family tree to help keep things straight…visuals are
so important; names, especially Chinese names are easier to remember when
attached to a face.
I have yet to find a name for Master Zhenru’s father (who also lives in
PEI now) so was I unable to determine what (if any) property he owns in PEI.
Master Zhenru’s birth mother apparently died many years ago and Zhenru has
a step-mother living in PEI; however, I could neither locate her name nor
photo, so I’m unsure of whether she also has PEI property holdings.
Master Zhenru’s brother Frank doesn’t apparently own anything. He’s a
total mystery to me, but I put him on the tree so he wouldn’t feel left-out.
我把這本家譜放在一起是為了説明保持事物的直線性......視覺效果是如此的重要；名字，尤其是中文名字，如果連著一張臉，就更容易記住。
我還沒有找到真如大師父親的名字（他現在也住在PEI），所以我無法確定他在PEI擁有什麼（如果有的話）財產。
真如大師的生母顯然已經去世多年，真如有一個繼母住在PEI，但是，我既找不到她的名字，也找不到她的照片，所以我不確定她是否也在PEI擁有房產。
真如大師的弟弟Frank顯然沒有任何財產。他對我來說完全是個謎，但我把他放在樹上，這樣他就不會覺得被遺漏了。
Master Zhenru and Family’s PEI Land Holdings
真如如大師和家族的PEI土地控股公司
Master Zhenru apparently lives in the Caribbean somewhere for 6 months of
the year, and in PEI for the other 6 months. When she is in PEI, she doesn’t
stay with the GWBI nuns, she has her own “condo” built inside a huge complex
where she lives with a very close-knit group of “Marco monks” and two full-time
personal attendants (I will explain more about Marco monks in a subsequent
article).
顯然，真如大師每年有6個月住在加勒比海某地，其餘6個月住在艾德華王子島。當她在PEI的時候，她並沒有和GWBI的修女們住在一起，她在一個巨大的建築群裡面建有自己的 "公寓"，她和一群非常親密的 "馬可和尚 "和兩個全職的私人侍者住在一起（關於馬可和尚，我將在以後的文章中詳細解釋）。
I made an attempt to get a picture of the Bliss and Wisdom Headquarters
and home to Master Zhenru close to the monastery. Unfortunately, it’s a gated
complex, so not interested in girl guide cookies or trick-or-treaters on
Halloween.
我嘗試著拍了一張靠近寺院的福智總部和真如大師的家。不幸的是，這是一個封閉的建築群，所以對女孩導遊餅乾或萬聖節的搗蛋鬼不感興趣。
I then went to Google Earth to see what a bird’s-eye view would reveal.
The resolution isn’t great, but the cars in the parking lot behind the main
building provide a good gauge to get an accurate sense of the size and scope of
the buildings.
然後我就去谷歌地球看看鳥瞰圖會有什麼發現。解析度不是很高，但主樓後面停車場的汽車 提供了一個很好的衡量標準，可以準確地瞭解建築物的大小和範圍。
What goes on in this complex? This is where the queen bee lives, and like
a hive full of honey bees, the queen has special attendants. There are a small
group of monks, including Venerable Walter Tsai, brother of Venerable Yvonne
Tsai, the GWBI Financial Director who appeared before the Legislative
Committee on Natural Resource and Sustainability. Apparently there are
offices and files and big safes and all the things you would expect in the
Headquarters of an international organization like Bliss and Wisdom.
這個建築群裡發生了什麼？這裡是蜂后居住的地方，就像滿是蜜蜂的蜂巢一樣，蜂后有專門的侍者。這裡有一小群僧人，其中包括曾在立法會自然資源與可持續發展委員會上 露面的 全球華商銀行財務總監蔡奕宏法師[@Yvonne尼師]的弟弟蔡沃特法師[@性恩]。顯然，在福智這樣一個國際組織的總部，有辦公室、有檔、有大保險箱，以及所有你會想到的東西。
