Dharma King His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-sheng Confers the Title of Acharya upon Master Shi Lianru (蓮茹)

On May 5, 2025, at the True Buddha Tantric Quarter in Seattle, USA, HH Dharma King Living Buddha Lian-sheng bestowed Acharya status on Senior Reverend Shi Lianru, officially designating her as a True Buddha School Master.


Senior Reverend Shi Lianru has long served as a resident Senior Reverend at Yuan Zheng Temple and currently holds the position of Secretary General of the True Buddha Foundation. She has consistently demonstrated diligence, dedication, and selflessness in her roles, whether in propagating the teachings at the temple or in administrative efforts. Her strong sense of mission and spirit of devotion have earned her great respect and praise from fellow disciples.

Today, due to the maturity of the conditions, HH Living Buddha Lian-sheng bestowed Acharya empowerment on Rev. Shi Lianru. Grandmaster encouraged the newly promoted Master to attain realization, liberate herself from the cycle of birth and death, save herself and others, shoulder Tathagata undertakings, and propagate Dharma for the benefit of sentient beings. Grandmaster further encouraged Master Lianru to actively cooperate with the administrative operations of the True Buddha Foundation, promote the True Buddha Tantric Dhama, and work toward guiding more and more sentient beings to liberation by taking refuge in the True Buddha.

Best Regards,
True Buddha Foundation
