Dharma Affairs Arrangements During the Rest Period of Dharma King His Holiness Living Buddha Liansheng
TBF Office No. 003
Dharma King His Holiness Living Buddha Liansheng has recently experienced physical discomfort. Following a professional medical evaluation, examinations and restorative treatment have been arranged. In accordance with medical advice, His Holiness is temporarily observing a period of quiet rest and recuperation.
The medical team has indicated that, after many years of tirelessly propagating the Dharma and liberating sentient beings under an extremely demanding schedule, His Holiness’s body and mind have been under sustained high levels of exertion. A dedicated period of calm recuperation is urgently needed. The preliminary assessment estimates that recovery will require several weeks, though the actual duration will depend on his progress.
At present, His Holiness is receiving attentive care from a professional medical team and is accompanied by family members offering their support and concern. His overall recovery is progressing smoothly. We respectfully ask disciples worldwide to remain at ease. With sufficient rest and proper recuperation, His Holiness’s health is steadily improving, and both his spirit and physical vitality are stabilizing and strengthening.
In accordance with His Holiness’s compassionate instructions, the arrangements for Dharma affairs and schedules during this rest period are as follows:
- On March 21, 2026, His Holiness will personally preside over the Grand Spring Ceremony hosted by Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple, bestowing the empowerment and pith instructions of “Zashi Lhamo’s Secret Practice for Sudden Wealth.” During the ceremony, he will also share with the assembly his experience during this period of rest and recuperation. This ceremony remains part of the established Dharma propagation schedule. Please prepare with peace of mind and attend as planned.
- For disciples and devotees who have registered for the final two February homa ceremonies at the Rainbow Temple, His Holiness will, at a later date when he personally presides over a homa ceremony, invite the respective principal deities to jointly bestow blessings, thereby fulfilling the aspirations of the participants.
- The Saturday weekly group practices at Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple will be presided over by masters as arranged by the abbot or the board of directors in accordance with established procedures.
- The Sunday homa ceremonies at Rainbow Temple will be presided over by masters as arranged by the abbot or the board of directors, and registration will remain open to the public.
- Although the Root Guru is observing a period of quiet rest, the Dharma stream remains unbroken and the lineage ever-present. True Buddha disciples may continue, in accordance with the Dharma, to submit applications for remote empowerment or requests for blessings online or by mail. All who sincerely generate the aspiration and follow the sadhanas in seeking the practices will be compassionately received by the Root Guru. Blessings will continue to extend to group practices, homa ceremonies, and fellow disciples and devotees at cultivation venues worldwide, ensuring that Dharma affairs proceed as usual, perfectly and without obstruction, and that sentient beings abide in auspiciousness and luminosity.
- We respectfully ask disciples worldwide to safeguard the Guru and protect the teachings with pure conduct and vows, to put into practice “Respect the Guru, Treasure the Dharma, and Cultivate Diligently,” to recite the Golden Mother Heart Mantra frequently, and to dedicate merits abundantly, praying for the Dharma King’s sacred body to be in good health, to abide long in this world, and to continually turn the Dharma wheel.
Best regards,
True Buddha Foundation
