Announcement on the investigation and handling of the incident of enshrining the tablets of Japanese war criminals in the Xuanzang Temple in Nanjing

After Xuanzang Temple enshrined the memorial tablets of Japanese war criminals who invaded China, the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government quickly established an investigation team to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation and handling. The relevant information is reported as follows.

After investigation and verification, Wu Ahping (female, born in September 1990, university degree, no previous name), who enshrined the tablet of the war criminal of the Japanese invaders in Xuanzang Temple, lived in Jinjiang, Fujian, Fujian since childhood, and moved to Nanjing in 2000. Living with his parents, he went to a medical school in Beijing in 2009, entered a hospital in Nanjing to engage in nursing work in 2013, and resigned in September 2019 to become a lay Buddhist in a temple in Mount Wutai.

On December 18, 2017, Wu Ahping went to Xuanzang Temple to ask for a memorial tablet, and filled in the registration form “Ishigen Matsui, Toshio Gu, Takeshi Noda, Junyoshi Tanaka, Toshiaki Mukai, Hua Qun (American Minnie Wei). Trine)” 6 names. The monk Lingsong on duty (born in September 1979, dropped out of junior high school) asked if the enshrined was a relative or a friend, but Wu Ahping lied that it was his friend. According to the standard of 100 yuan per year for each tablet, the temple charges a total of 3,000 yuan for 5 years of worship. The spiritual token has a receipt, indicating the worship time “2018-2022”, and then writes a note on the yellow tablet paper (9 × 4 cm). The names of the six people with the character “Friend” and the inscription “Wu Aping” were plastic-sealed and placed in the 15th row 7-12 in the “Rebirth Lotus” area of ​​the Ksitigarbha Temple, about 3 meters above the ground. At the end of 2018, Xuanzang Temple repaired the Tibetan Temple, and successively removed all the tablets. After the repair of the Tibetan Temple in December 2021, the tablet will be returned to its original place.

On February 26, 2022, a female believer went to the Tibetan Temple of Xuanzang Temple to find a tablet for her to enshrine. The monks Qingxuan and Luxuan helped to find it together with several tourists. During the process, they found the tablet of the Japanese war criminals who invaded China. A tourist took a photo. photo. Qingxuan immediately took down the tablets of the five Japanese war criminals who invaded China. He informed the abbot of the incident by fax that night, and the fax demanded that it is strictly forbidden to spread the word. Since then, he has not reported it to the competent authorities. On July 21, tourists who took photos posted their photos on social platforms, which were widely forwarded and attracted great attention from the society.

After extensive visits and comprehensive in-depth investigations by the public security organs, Wu Ahping’s enshrining the tablet of the war criminals of the Japanese invaders was a personal act, and there was no evidence of her being instructed or conspiring with others. According to Wu Ahping’s confession, after she arrived in Nanjing, she learned about the atrocities of the Japanese war criminals invading China, and the crimes of Matsui Ishigen and other five war criminals, so she had a psychological shadow and was haunted by nightmares for a long time; The famous Japanese war criminals who invaded China had the wrong idea of ​​”resolving their grievances” and “freeing themselves from suffering”; at the same time, I learned about the kindness of American missionary Ms. Whitling during the Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese invaders. He committed suicide at home and wanted to help him get out of it through offerings. According to the investigation, since March 2017, Wu Ahping had visited the hospital three times due to insomnia, anxiety and other symptoms, and took sedative and hypnotic drugs. Out of her misunderstanding of cause and effect and her selfish motives, Wu Ahping paid money to set up memorial tablets for them in places of religious activities even though she knew that the five enshrined were war criminals of the Japanese army invading China. He violated the Buddhist teachings and rules of promoting good and punishing evil, seriously disrupting public order, seriously hurting national feelings, and causing bad social impact. He was suspected of the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

After the incident, the Nanjing Municipal Religious Affairs Management Department investigated and dealt with Xuanzang Temple. Xuanzang Temple did not verify the identity of the enshrined, and found that after the memorial tablet enshrined to the Japanese war criminals invading China was removed, it has been concealed. According to the relevant provisions of the “Regulations on Religious Affairs”, the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau of Xuanwu District, Nanjing City has ordered Xuanzang Temple to rectify, and has replaced the post of the main person in charge of the Xuanzang Temple; the Municipal Buddhist Association has also removed the post of vice president of the fax. The relevant departments will further investigate and deal with the clues of other problems reported by Xuanzang Temple and related personnel.

The Xuanzang Temple enshrining the memorial tablets of Japanese war criminals invading China has exposed the problems existing in the management of religious activity venues in our city. The religious affairs management departments of the city and Xuanwu District are not strict and untruthful, and they have neglected and oversighted the relevant religious activity venues. . The Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, the Xuanwu District Party Committee and the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs have dealt with the relevant responsible persons seriously in accordance with the discipline, regulations and laws: Su Yuhong, the Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Citizens and Religious Affairs Bureau, was exhorted, and Ji Qin, the member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Citizens and Religious Affairs Bureau, was dismissed. Serious warnings were given within the party. Wang Jian, a member of the party group and deputy director of the Citizens and Religious Affairs Bureau, was given a warning within the party. (Administrative Examination and Approval Service Office) Director Hou Naijuan gave an internal warning to the party, dismissed Hu Yuanyuan, director of the Xuanwu District Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, and gave him a severe warning from the party. Sanctions were given to Yang Jing, the head of the Minzu Branch of the Minority Bureau of Xuanwu District, and a warning from the party was given to Gui Xuguang, the United Front Worker of Xuanwumen Street, Xuanwu District.

The incident of enshrining the tablets of war criminals of the Japanese aggressors in the religious activities site has seriously impacted the bottom line of social morality and seriously hurt the feelings of the nation, which is shocking and outrageous. The majority of netizens and citizens discovered and pointed out problems in a timely manner, which fully reflects the strong patriotic sentiment and the concern for Nanjing. We will be deeply vigilant and reflect, learn lessons, draw inferences from each other, make comprehensive rectifications, and resolutely prevent similar problems from happening.
