2025年7月18日，中國佛教協會正式發布公告，指出近期接獲浙江省佛教協會的報告，內容關於註銷湖州釋恒警與紹興釋道祿兩人的戒牒事宜。依照相關規定，佛協決定對恒警（俗名楊力）與道祿（俗名吳兵）的戒牒進行註銷。這位被註銷戒牒的道祿，正是先前因涉嫌詐騙犯罪而遭浙江紹興警方採取刑事強制措施、被網路輿論稱作「和尚爸爸」的僧人。

根據媒體早前的報導，道祿本名吳兵，1977年出生於江蘇南通市。2010年，他在寺廟剃度出家，並自2012年起開始從事救助孕婦與棄嬰的公益行動，主要方式是幫助未婚先孕的女性順利生產、協助困難產婦，甚至直接收養她們的孩子。大約在2022年，道祿來到浙江一帶展開此類活動。依照其社會服務機構登記資料顯示，2022年6月，他以法定代表人身份，向上虞區民政局註冊成立民辦非企業單位「紹興市上虞區蓮花慈善社」，業務範圍包括弱勢兒童、孤兒、單親困難孕婦的救助，以及慈善文化交流等。

然而，2025年2月，上虞區民政局公告，蓮花慈善社的法定代表人已由道祿更換為吳某某，而這位吳某某正是道祿在出家前與前妻所生的女兒。事態在2025年6月進一步發酵。6月26日，浙江紹興市公安局上虞區分局發布警情通報，指出自同年5月以來，警方接到大量群眾報案，同時關注到網路上關於「道祿騙取錢財」的相關消息，並於5月21日正式立案偵查。

警方調查結果顯示，道祿（原名吳某，男性，48歲）自2018年起，先後與歷某依（女性，35歲）、姜某琪（女性，24歲）、吳某雯（女性，24歲）等人，在江浙多地輾轉活動。他們以「資助孕婦、助養兒童」之名，從社會上大量接受捐款，但絕大部分善款卻被用於個人的高額消費，涉嫌詐騙犯罪。警方依法對上述四人採取刑事強制措施，並查封、扣押、凍結相關涉案資產。同時，警方還查明道祿涉及其他違法犯罪行為，案件目前仍在進一步偵辦中。公安機關也與有關部門合作，依法依規、有序推進善後處理，以盡量減少受害群眾的損失。

這起事件不僅揭示以宗教與慈善名義行騙的嚴重性，也引發社會對慈善機構監管漏洞與宗教人士行為操守的深刻反思。

On July 18, 2025, the Buddhist Association of China officially issued a public notice stating that it had recently received a report from the Zhejiang Buddhist Association regarding the cancellation of the ordination certificates (jie-die) of two monks: Master Hengjing from Huzhou and Master Daolu from Shaoxing. In accordance with relevant regulations, the association decided to revoke the certificates of Hengjing (secular name: Yang Li) and Daolu (secular name: Wu Bing). Notably, Daolu is the same monk who had previously been placed under criminal coercive measures by the Shaoxing police on suspicion of fraud, and who was nicknamed by the internet as the so-called “Monk Dad.”

According to earlier media reports, Daolu’s real name is Wu Bing, born in 1977 in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. In 2010, he shaved his head and became a monk, and starting from 2012, he began engaging in charitable activities aimed at helping pregnant women and abandoned infants. His work mainly focused on assisting unmarried pregnant women to give birth safely, supporting women in difficult childbirth situations, and even directly adopting their children. Around 2022, Daolu moved to Zhejiang Province to continue such activities. Registration records of his social service organization show that in June 2022, he registered a private non-enterprise unit called “Shaoxing Shangyu District Lotus Charity Society” with the Shangyu District Civil Affairs Bureau, where he served as the legal representative. The organization’s scope of work included providing aid for disadvantaged children, orphans, single mothers facing hardship, and promoting charitable cultural exchange.

However, in February 2025, the Shangyu District Civil Affairs Bureau announced that the legal representative of the Lotus Charity Society had been changed from Daolu to a person named Wu, who was revealed to be Daolu’s daughter from his marriage prior to ordination. The situation escalated further in June 2025. On June 26, the Shangyu branch of the Shaoxing Public Security Bureau issued a public notice, stating that since May of that year, police had received a large number of public reports and had also taken note of widespread online claims that Daolu had been defrauding donors. A formal investigation was launched on May 21.

The police investigation revealed that Daolu (originally surnamed Wu, male, 48 years old) had been operating since 2018 in various locations across Jiangsu and Zhejiang together with several women: Li Mouyi (female, 35), Jiang Mouqi (female, 24), and Wu Mouwen (female, 24). Under the guise of “assisting pregnant women and supporting children,” they collected large amounts of donations from the public. However, the vast majority of the funds were spent on personal lavish consumption, constituting suspected fraud. The police have taken criminal coercive measures against the four individuals and have sealed, seized, and frozen assets related to the case. Investigators also uncovered evidence of other illegal activities involving Daolu, and the case is still under further investigation. Public security authorities are working with relevant departments to handle follow-up matters in accordance with laws and regulations, with the aim of minimizing losses to the victims.

This incident not only exposes the severity of fraud committed under the guise of religion and charity but also raises serious concerns about loopholes in the supervision of charitable organizations and the ethical conduct of religious figures.
