Taiwanese Temple Associated with Controversial Figure Reportedly Vandalized with Feces

A religious group in Taitung, Taiwan, centered around a figure known as 'Jidian Chan Shi,' has become the subject of controversy due to unusual rituals and public statements.

The figure, identified as Wu Xin-ru, claims to hold multiple divine titles, including 'Jidian Chan Shi,' 'Eastern Purple Micro Saint,' and 'Xiao Ling Heavenly Venerate.' Followers reportedly wear purple uniforms adorned with images of aliens and the word 'jia dian,' kneeling in worship.

Recently, videos surfaced online showing an incident where it appears someone threw a bucket at the entrance of the Xuanji Temple, associated with the controversial figure. The footage, shared on platforms like Threads, has sparked heated online debate.

Reactions range from amusement and approval of the act to condemnation of the method. Some commenters questioned the practicality and hygiene of the alleged perpetrator, while others expressed support for action against the group. However, many also cautioned against such behavior, noting that throwing feces could be considered public insult under Taiwanese law. Some netizens have raised suspicions of a staged event, pointing out the lack of masks worn by those involved.
