释永信独揽寺内外合作大权,2025被查事件揭商业帝国核心运作

Group 1 - The core feature of the operational model of the Shaolin Temple is the absolute decision-making power held by Shi Yongxin, which is also the key background for the investigation in 2025 [1][3] - All cooperation projects, regardless of size, require final approval from Shi Yongxin, creating a "one pen" decision-making model [1][3] - Shi Yongxin's dual identity as both a religious leader and a business entity hub blurs the boundaries between faith and capital [1][3] Group 2 - The internal supervision mechanism at the Shaolin Temple is ineffective, lacking checks and balances, which leads to passive obedience among the monks [1][4] - Financial records are muddled between the temple and associated companies, with no public audits conducted [1][4] - External regulatory oversight is absent, allowing significant financial transactions to go unexamined [1][4] Group 3 - The traditional donation system has been distorted into a tool for rent-seeking, with funds being misappropriated [1][5] - Overseas assets, such as hotels and golf courses, are directly controlled by Shi Yongxin, with opaque cross-border financial flows becoming a focus of economic crime investigations [1][5] - The public's trust in the faith has collapsed due to Shi Yongxin's personal misconduct, which contradicts Buddhist precepts [1][5] Group 4 - The downfall of Shi Yongxin's model illustrates the dangers of absolute power without a framework of checks and balances, such as a decision-making committee and independent audits [1][5] - The case raises questions about whether commercialization inevitably leads to corruption or if power monopolization fosters systemic decay [1][5]
