This is probably a wild goose chase - it started with an anon 4chan post - but GEBIS is certainly a sketchy organization that could deserve its own thread somewhere.
I had a look into them and wasn't sure it was worth posting but I'll add what I found to the thread in case anything more comes of it.
Probably nothing but there was an incident of a Monk being
struck by a falling tree and dying in August. There are a ton of news articles about this and it has resurfaced in the last couple of weeks due to them now being fined for negligence.
I also found a blog from 2017 (
Link /
Archive) claiming to expose the leader of GEBIS Mary Jin (as well as its parent group GWBI, it gets a bit confusing with different names but they're definitely the same group).
According to the article
>She was second in charge of a Chinese cult and claimed to have magical powers before the cult was cracked down on by the Chinese government
>She later became a Buddhist to escape persecution and joined GWBI
>She tricked the group into believing she was an enlightened being and was appointed as the masters successor and spiritual leader
>She began to teach the monks tantric sex breaking the monks vows of celibacy trying to become their "Holy Mary" by giving birth to a Monks child hence the English name
>She hired a doctor to poison the current Buddhist master and become the groups Guru
I also found this paywalled article
that can be read on the archive claiming that there is an online misinformation campaign against the group with the actual motivations being racism against Chinese and the Chinese government and sexism toward the leader.

There are also a bunch of reddit threads (
1 2) with people concerned about their family members joining the group. My main takeaway from these is that the group is impossible to research in English you would need to speak Chinese.
