社会万象幻影 [Social multiple images' reflections] - A reflection on a report of a claimed 'god doctor' (神医)

Today, 2013/10/23, Lunar calendar is Sept, 19, the Mahayana School of Buddhism commemorating the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's Enlightenment Day (农历9月19日，观世音菩萨成道日/出家日?). It is a day for practitioners to reflect on the embodiment of the Enlightened Buddha's virtue of 'Boundless Compassion' - the manifestation of Perfect Virtue on the spiritual path to Enlightenment.

But incidentally,with aching heart, i read of:
someone shared a piece of news(from China) at chinese microblog of a university architecture student who was very interested in Chinese Medicine died of suspected poisoning while participating in a 'closed door chinese medicine workshop'. Based on the web sources, this named leader, so-called 'god doctor', in the 70an, and then 90an., had histories of being jailed twice (or thrice?), the second time was that being found guilty of 'intentionally killed someone and given unlimited jail term', yet he was released after 15 years! Somehow while he was in the jail, he started 'practicing medicine in the jail community- The diagnostic method used was reported 自然运动疗法[my personal translation: natural exercise diagnosis - qigong?], later he was barred from treatment practice by the authority after they reportedly found him causing death to 13 people!  (paraphrased and summarized from source:

In my opinion: apparently, the jail wall did not 'educate his heart to appreciate human lives or managed to revert or change his perverted mind' but may be merely 'restricted his movement in guarded compound with some given works?'. I could only provide the link pages after i did a search of this reported name of  'god doctor' (神医). Not surprising, the online chinese 'Baidu' (like encyclopedia) had published and updated the information (with a picture on the right pane):

By browsing through the search hit results, an online medical resources site had earlier reported the interview Q & A form, including questioned his techniques of illness treatment and livelihood, and reader could access earlier published related articles at the end of the interview. Interestingly, the anonymous writer had even written a question of this claimed 'god doctor' whereabout (before the reported tragedy?)?, weblink page:

Further down of the search hit pages - Oh dear, in 2010, a blogger had initially driven by curiosity, had done some observation through searches on web resources, and later conducted personal 'research' of verification via 3 published books, and then written an article via investigative analyses, even posted some critical questions of this vice-verse controversial 'god doctor' and invited readers for discussion, posted at a free forum community (天涯社区):

While feeling very sorry and sad for the deceased victim's living parent, as a learning Buddhist, once again, it prompted me to contemplate on the Buddha's words: 'Education is the Highest Miracle'!  More than 2500 years ago, why did the prince Siddhartha left the luxurious life as a future king, and searching for the Truth of life through all learned and spiritual masters available in the middle land? - The Four Noble Truth expounded by the historically Enlightened Gautama Buddha and compassionately teaching for 45 years comprises many methods to human physical and mental wellness...The Four Noble Truth presented: the Phenomenon (sufferings), the Cause (of suffering), the Cease (or end, of suffering), and the Path Leading to the Cease (of Suffering), but it is we ourselves need to walk the path, no one else could walk for us....

Live Lessons from my Spiritual Friend (2)

October 4, 2011
This day from 0900hr-1200hr was a special session, with compassion, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was giving an empowerment of the Avoloketesvara (Boddhisattva of Compassion). HH explained this teaching's transmission was experienced in a solitary retreat during the life of the 5th Dalai Lama. Briefly HH was giving this oral transmission to the participants, the basis of this visualization meditation was based on the Nyingma tradition (the earliest tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism).  During the instruction, based on the translation in Chinese, i followed it, and i found the method narrated had much similarity to what my Spiritual Friend, Kunde Rinpoche had taught us the Vajrasattva visualization on two occassions during the launch of his first English publication, A Garland of Flowers: Questions and Answers on the Highly Secret Clear Light Great Perfection, mainly the object of visualization is Avoloketesvara, the was slight variation almost at the end.  After the session, i found it energizing, and refreshing. In fact, having this opportunity to meditate among the practitioners from different parts of the globe is a blessing itself, even though it was less than an hour practice.
A Lama, a friend of Tulku, to be more specific, hails from the same monastery, Horthang Tashi Monastery but currently studying at Sakya monastery college in India, was requested by Tulku to take care of me (Thanks much to Tulku's being such considerate of this student's unfamiliar with the environment throughout this journey).  Tulku had gone to the administrative office, i understand he was trying very hard if he could request for a private audience with HH (on my behalf).  Later, he apologized unable to make arrangement via the Temple 's receptionist whom (with my presence) referred him here and there (from security office, religious dept ect.).  I sincerely felt that this humble Spiritual Friend was doing more than extra miles for his student. When his efforts yielded no results, and Tulku apologized more than 3 times, again i expressed that the experiences of being among the participants for these days had given me much contentment spiritually.  I have seen HH during his teaching sessions, though it was not directly in private capacity.  Even the viewing of HH leaving the Temple Hall twice were symbolic of meeting a great Spiritual Friend.  I believe there were too many participants trying to take this opportunity to do the same, as evident when we were at the reception office. Being able to travel and attending this special teaching days (though not fully with my own short of awareness and mindfullness for 2 days) - i felt it was indeed a lifetime blessings!
Thank you very much, my Spiritual Friend - for your kind concerns and caring for your students' spiritual diverse exposure to different traditions within Vajrayana School.
May the merits of the 4-day teachings with a finale of Avaloketesvara Empowerment by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama benefit all Sentient Beings, above, below and across...

May all beings be well and happy...
