File photo shows members of a training center in Guangdong Province. The center is suspected of brainwashing members and coaxing them into promiscuous sex as a therapy to relieve tension. |
The reporter found that during some "advanced courses" which were even more costly, the students were even encouraged to have intercourse inside classrooms. The idea was to implant the belief of unrestricted sex practice in members' minds to achieve so-called liberty, peace and harmony of body and spirit, according to the report.
Tantra is the name of an inter-religious spiritual movement that originated in medieval India. Its principles were later developed to connect with massage and yoga practices.
Police and the local commercial market watchdog raided the "KHAOS International Mind Pacifying Village" on Tuesday. The facility was a shabby house located deep inside a local mountain, police said.
The roughly decorated structure only had several rooms furnished with cheap mattresses. However, a 21-day course with accommodation was priced at 100,000 yuan (US$5,825) per person.
Records from Cheng's computer showed the facility had attracted at least 100 members for its recent programs, most of them office workers or business professionals from across the country, including from Shanghai and Macau, police said.
