Answer 11:
The person demonstrating the "Upper Vajra Three Strikes" is a world-renowned living Buddha. Why does he turn his back to the upper strike? He says he feels ashamed and does not want to appear in public, so we have no right to tell you his Dharma name. Now, this Ming Dynasty's Pupa Vajra Strike is offered in the temple of the World Buddhist Headquarters. Venerable Lianhua Kozun Gan Dan Mo Zhi Ma Kai Sheng De said that you consult us on unrelated matters. Today, we will make an exception and inform you that the living Buddha who uses the "Heavenly Strike" is not Thailand's Yin Gang (also known as Agang). We have never seen or known what kind of person Yin Gang is. The accurate information we obtained from the consultation is correct. His master, Chen Baosheng, took Agang and a group of their fellow disciples to visit the Third Dajie Qiang Buddha in Shenzhen. It was a group public audience, only once, and it has been twenty years since then. Qiang Buddha has never accepted Agang as a disciple, so how can we talk about teaching him anything? We also don't know about him collecting money for Chen Baosheng. We don't know what kind of Buddhist temple they have in Thailand, where it is, or who funded its construction. We don't understand their relationship.
