GRAND MASTER LU - LIVING BUDDHA LIAN-SHENG
Living Buddha Lian-Sheng Sheng-yen Lu is a prominent religious figure, well known and respected throughout SouthEast Asia. As of 2001, over 4 million people have taken refuge in his True Buddha School. With over 300 temples worldwide, the True Buddha School is recognized as one of the major influence in Buddhism today.
Living Buddha Lian-Sheng Sheng-Yen Lu was born in 1945 in Taiwan. In 1982, he settled in the United States to promote and preach Buddhist philosophies to the West. He has since built a Grand Buddhist temple, the Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple, in Redmond Washington and a large retreat center in the Cascade Mountain. Currently Living Buddha Lian-Sheng is residing in Tahiti.
Originally a Christian, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng was twenty-six years old when a profound mystical experience led him to the study of Taoism, Sutrayana, and Tantric Buddhism. After intense training and practice over the period of fourteen years, he became a Master of exceptional accomplishment in these disciplines and achieved Perfect Enlightenment.
By practicing the True Buddha Tantric Dharma, as taught by the Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, one can realize Awakening and Liberation in this present life.
Living Buddha Lian-Sheng is also a prolific writer, having published over 158 books in Chinese on a variety of topics including Tantric Buddhism, Geomancy, Zen Buddhism, and Taoism. Many of these books are now being translated into English.
