True Buddha School is not true Buddhism. I have read his articles before and it is obvious his
teachings have deviated far from true Buddhadharma.

My suggestion is not to follow blindly and study mainstream Buddhism yourself and you will then
realise how different it is.

True Buddha Order (Zhen Fo Zhong) - Sheng-yen Lu

What else is Sheng-yen Lu? He is a Christian (has been a Sunday Bible School teacher), a Taoist
Master, a Buddhist Master (shaven and left home), and also the Living Buddha Lian-shen (a
Tantric guru). Is Sheng-yen Lu a monk?
Yes.
"He is now a monk, after formally taking the vows and shaving his head."
Is Sheng-yen Lu the lineage holder of the True Buddha School? "Yes, because he has founded
the True Buddha School to propagate the True Buddha Dharma."
Apart from the above, Sheng-yen Lu is also a psychic! He is someone who is everything. But,
who, really, is Sheng-yen Lu?


Now that Living Buddha Lian Shen has attained Realisation through his own vigour and practice,
in order to teach more sentient beings, he espouses the True Buddha Dharma, hoping that
everybody will eradicate their karma, see their Self Nature, so that he or she can control his or
her own life and death, and become a Buddha in no time.

Because Living Buddha Lian Shen has attained Realisation, he knows very well that by practising
the True Buddha Dharma everybody can become a Buddha.
Therefore he let it be known to the whole world, the undisclosed doctrines of Buddhism, hoping
that everybody will take refuge in True Buddha School, and carry out the practice to attain
Buddhahood.

On March 11th, 2000, Master Lu hosted a grand ceremony with a lecture. Thousands of members
who took refuge in Master Lu attended this ceremony. There, he gave a controversial lecture on
how to use a spell to kill someone. Master Lu believed that if there was no other way that could
assist a hopeless or stubborn person, then the only way is kill him or her. He said "The only way
to treat a stubborn or a hopeless person is to kill. If you love someone and have mercy and want
to send one to heaven, you must first take his life and then expiate the sins of the dead. This is
the 2nd greatest charm of the religion". He continued saying;- "if there is no other way that could
assist one, then the only way is to kill. Giving mercy or influence or wisdom and still not way out,
then the only way is to kill".
This lecture shocked many Buddhists in Taiwan and the world.

Not long after his lecture, Master Lu was accused of committing sexual harassment with a female
disciple, known anonymously as "SHC". She claimed that Master Lu made negligent counseling by
making the said disciple engage in a "twin body blessing"---sexual intercourse. The disciple was
terminally ill at the time of this incident. According to the disciple, Master Lu said that she would
die of sickness if she did not participate in this blessing.

However, the disciple had no evidence, beyond her own word, that any "twin body blessing" took
place, and Temple officials had no knowledge of any such blessing and no reason to believe that
such a blessing ever happened.

Grand Master said, "When I first set forth to propagate the Dharma, I've encountered many
slandering. But even if threatened with forceful oppositions, I had remained unwavering in My
conviction of the Truth....True Buddha disciples of today, having experienced wonderful miracles
from the Grand Master, should also possess the same deep-rooted and immovable conviction
towards the Dharma." For further information, see -
