China 'guru' promoting group sex faces arrest

BEIJING: Police are looking for China's leading Tantra guru, Qin Mingyuan, after they closed down three of his meditation centers for allegedly encouraging group sex and wife swapping. A woman, who organized classes at one of the centers, was detained in Guangdong, southern China.
Qin's resume says that he learnt teaching about "warm, free love" at Pune's Osho training center.His Chinese mentor, Li Yi, was accused of raping and having affairs with female disciples.
An official said Tantra classes promote values that "go against public morals''. "If they continue to develop, they will eventually become cults," Global Times said.
Chinese government has been wary of cult movement since it crushed the Falun Gong cult violently in 2009.
Gurus like Qin have emerged amid rising demand for spiritual solace among well-off Chinese. The Global Times described the trend as "homegrown version of New Age mysticism".
