Introduction to Vajra Master Lian Jie
In 1983, Vajra Master Lian Jie (Allen Hou) became an early disciple of Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Sheng-yen Lu, the founder of True Buddha School. Living Buddha Lian-sheng is one of the contemporary age’s most notable achievers in Taoism, Sutrayana and Tantrayana.
After taking refuge in Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Master Lian Jie received empowerment and was given the special teachings of the True Buddha Tantric Dharma. Since then, Master Lian Jie has completed 10,000 sessions of the “Four Preliminary Practices” and continued in his spiritual progress to attain Buddhahood.
From 1987 onwards, under the guidance of Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Master Lian Jie has performed at least 5000 homa sessions. Living Buddha Lian-sheng is renowned for his yogic achievements in purification, blessing, and bardo deliverance, and his unparalleled skills in geomancy and spiritual predication. With diligent and devoted study and practice, Master Lian Jia has also developed these abilities.
In 1994, Master Lian Jie was entrusted by Living Buddha Lian Sheng to begin construction of Ray Tseng temple; by 1995, the Waken Ray Tseng temple covered an area of 10,000 square feet. Today it stands tall and upright in Los Angeles, spreading the dharma to sentient beings throughout Southern California.
In 1996, Living Buddha Lian-sheng conferred Vajra Acharya status on Master Lian Jie and bestowed on him the Vajra Master Crown. Since then, Master Lian Jie has endeavored to disseminate the teachings around the world. He sincerely works to sustain and strengthen True Buddha School, True Buddha Tantric Dharma, and Living Buddha Lian-sheng. He teaches correct views and thoughts and abides by the Four Immeasurable Vows:
May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness; this is immeasurable loving kindness.
May all beings be liberated from suffering and the causes of suffering; this is immeasurable compassion.
May all beings be free of suffering and always stay happy; this is immeasurable joy.
May all beings be free of grasping and aversion towards others and develop faith in the equality of all who live; this is immeasurable equanimity.
