It has been learned that the Tendai sect will begin an investigation into the facts of a Tendai sect temple in Shikoku after a nun filed a petition to have the priesthood of the chief priest and two others revoked, alleging that she had been sexually assaulted by the chief priest over a period of more than ten years. I did.
Ms. Eiatsu, a nun in her 50s living in Shikoku, whose monastic name is Eiatsu, said that from 2009 until January last year, the head priest of a Tendai sect temple in Shikoku repeatedly threatened her and told her, ``If you disobey, you will go to hell.'' She claims that she was sexually assaulted.
He also claims that the 80-year-old high priest who introduced him to the chief priest received no help when he asked for help.
Last month, Eiatsu sent a declaration to the Tendai sect to revoke his priesthood as chief priest and high priest, alleging that his religious beliefs were exploited and he was kept in a state of psychological confinement for a long period of time.
The Tendai Religious Affairs Agency had said that they would discuss how to respond, but now that the report has been formally accepted, we have learned that an officer called a councilor will begin investigating the facts of the declaration based on Tendai Buddhism rules.
The Tendai Religious Affairs Agency said, ``We have accepted the report because it has been confirmed that the woman who made the complaint is a nun of the Tendai sect.We will proceed with the investigation and deliberate based on the results.''
The chief priest, who is in his 60s, told an interview on the 1st of this month, ``I have nothing to say.''
