Reference: The White Lotus Temple in Cherkasy causes conflicting assessments: some consider it a unique center of spirituality with elements of martial arts, others — a totalitarian sect with a commercial bias and pseudo-religious ideology. Students and researchers often note the lack of authentic spirituality and the eclecticism of the doctrine.
