Taiwan Temple Leader Claiming Alien Contact Criticized for Political Preaching

A temple leader in Taiwan, who claims to communicate with extraterrestrials, has become a subject of controversy for her outspoken political advocacy. Ms. Wu, known as "Zen Master Ji Dian," leads the Xuanji Temple in Taitung and has gained a following among those who believe she can commune with aliens and predict future events. Recently, videos surfaced showing Wu addressing followers, urging them to support the Taiwan People's Party and its leader, Ko Wen-je. She alleged that the party is being politically persecuted and that the Democratic Progressive Party and Kuomintang are dictatorial. Wu asserted that Ko Wen-je represents the people and warned that citizens would be next if they did not pay attention. These pronouncements, made while appearing to be in a trance, have led to widespread condemnation online. Critics have labeled her group a cult, with many expressing disbelief and ridicule towards both Wu and her followers. Online discussions have been rife with dismissive comments, with some users questioning the mental faculties of those who believe in her teachings and calling for her expulsion from Taiwan.

The DPP and KMT are both dictatorships and are full of corrupt officials. Then the Taiwan People's Party appears, speaking for the people, but they are politically persecuted! If you don't pay attention now, you will be next!
