"The labels the world has given me are numerous: monk, layperson, master, life scientist, fraud, founder of Huazang Heart Dharma, criminal, ex-convict, Dharma heir of the Heart Sect, teacher, and a high-risk person for social instability, among others! Therefore, I advise my friends and students to be cautious in associating with me. While I am still alive, anyone who feels wronged or deceived by me should quickly expose me to the world. Those who owe me or have benefited from me, let's settle it all here and now. Finally, I want to say: I am just me!"
-- Wu Zeheng (Zen Master Xingwu)

 
"I have spoken for so many years, and it all boils down to this: there should be no distinction between you and me, between Buddhism and Taoism, between monastics and laypeople, and there should be no division between Buddhism and Christianity. Do not create such distinctions; do not use human-made religious forms to create another form of conflict. This is karmic obstruction and a grave sin. Some people criticize me and Huazang, but I remain unchanged. Huazang is not a sect, nor is it a religion. Through my teachings and the abilities I have acquired, I serve society and help more people, repaying the offerings from all sentient beings. I refuse to be a parasite."
