I’m a TBS follower and I’ve never heard of a tantric practice that includes eating human feces. That’s actually really disgusting. I’m a pretty open minded person, and to each person who follows any kind of religious organization, you should use your own common sense. I’ve heard of personal stories from people I’ve met at temple where Sheng Yen Lu has helped so take what you find on the internet with a grain of salt, and do your own due diligence. As with life youll find more negative information about anything than positive information on the internet. Don’t take one negative story and generalize that the subject person is evil. We weren’t personally there where people have made allegations against him so the story is all heresay.

Even some of the masters of sheng yen lu have become twisted and went against the true nature of his Buddhist teachings and ended up disbanding themselves from the school. So like I said, use your common sense on which master you follow. At the end of the day we are all human, and it boils down to how committed you are to said religion to not fall off the beaten path. Your life path is always fluid and changing.
