Xie Shaoguang Quits Life of Being A Monk! Can Have Sex, Meat And Alcohol Again!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - More than two years after he was ordained as a monk, retired actor Xie Shaoguang has hung up his Buddhist robes, and is wearing an apron again.

Lianhe Wanbao spoke to him on Sunday (March 27) at Three O Cafe in Johor Baru, a vegetarian eatery where he has resumed his job as a chef. Although he did not deny that he had returned to secular life, he did not give details. "This is my business," he said.

Xie, 54, was one of Channel 8's biggest stars before he retired in 2005 and moved to Malaysia. He opened an animal shelter there and also cooked at Three O Cafe. In 2013, the news of his ordainment in a Buddhist centre in Pontian caused an uproar, but he kept a low profile and did not speak to the media.


On Sunday, employees in Three O Cafe confirmed Xie's return to secular life, said Wanbao. One female employee, who declined to be named, said: "I saw him wearing casual clothes a few months ago. Buddhist monks can be ordained seven times and return to secular life six times. His return to secular life isn't surprising."

Xie looked surprised when Wanbao approached him and asked for an interview. The reporter said: "You once said, 'People who understand will understand even if I don't speak, people who don't understand won't understand even if I speak.' Do you worry that other people don't understand?"

Xie said: "Yes, you know too." He declined to answer more questions and walked to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Why would any kind of monkhood or priesthood make anyone see the light? While I respect that people serving as priests or monks have a purpose in guiding others and providing spiritual advise, I don't see how it is different in anyway from most jobs. People are in it for some kind of reward - money, power, influence or better prospects in the afterlife.

I think Xie is tired of masturbating every night. At least, he can now openly find a partner.

Agreed. I never see the reason why people want to deny themselves sex, which is the most basic carnal aspect of human nature.

If they are in for the suffering, they just want to have the sense of achievement that they went through life on a higher difficulty setting.

Agreed, don't make life more difficult than it already is.
