ABOUT THE TRUE BUDDHA SCHOOL AND THE FOUNDER
The True Buddha School (TBS) was founded by highly accomplished
Vajra-master, Grand-Master Sheng-Yen Lu (referred by his over 6 million followers as "Living Buddha-Lian-Sheng").

Grand-Master Lu was a devoted Christian, at age 25, he encountered mystical experiences, began to practice Taoism, then Sutrayana Buddhism, and then, during a retreat in deep meditation, he received Tibetan Vajra-Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava 's short lineage teachings. He completed all the stages of Vajrayana practice, and attained enlightenment.

The mission of the TBS is to bring Buddhist teachings into contemporary society, help sentient beings attain joy and peace in their daily life, and ultimately, develop superior wisdom and universal compassion, recovering their Buddha-nature, ending the cycle of death and rebirth, and achieve spiritual realization/nirvana.
Currently, there are over 400 True Buddha School temples, chapters, and study groups throughout the world, serving all who are interested in learning Buddhism.
