Shi Xuecheng, a well-known Buddhist monk in China, is facing a government investigation over accusations of sexual misconduct.

A Buddhist monk was sentenced Monday to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to embezzling more than $260,000 from the Louisiana temple he led and gambling most of the money at a casino.

A Buddhist monk was caught on camera scuffling with a man who had just robbed him of his wallet at a gas station store in Philadelphia earlier this month.
