Wikipedia's biographical article on Hans Rudolf Doring (Dorin Genpo), consulted 14 August 2026. Records his 1985 discipleship under Zen master Genshō Hōzumi, his founding of the Hakuin-Zen-Gemeinschaft in Munich in 1988, training at Empuku-ji monastery in Kyoto from 1991, full ordination as osho in 1992, his leadership of the Bodaisan Shoboji temple in Dinkelscherben, his seat on the Deutsche Buddhistische Union board from 1985 to 2008 and as Vice President of the World Fellowship of Buddhists, and the conviction itself: Landgericht Augsburg (youth chamber), 8 July 2017, 25 counts under German Criminal Code section 176, seven boys aged 4 to 13 abused between 2001 and 2016, sentenced to seven years nine months. It records that both the Hakuin-Zen-Gemeinschaft and the Deutsche Buddhistische Union issued statements condemning his conduct and addressing victims.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier 3: a general-audience tertiary reference, read directly on 14 August 2026; the conviction date, count and sentence converge with the wire report (source 5) and the academic account (source 6), and it is the only source consulted naming the two institutions' response statements, so this atlas relies on it for that detail alone with that caveat stated plainly. NotesConsulted 14 August 2026. This atlas names the defendant in full from this source (the contemporaneous wire and academic sources both withhold his surname under German privacy convention); the conviction facts themselves rest on all three sources together.
