Book 308 by Dharma King Liansheng Sheng-Yen Lu to Be Released in Traditional and Simplified Chinese on March 19, 2026
The Eternal Star (Preface)
The author transforms every stirring of the heart and every heartbreak in the mundane world into an opportunity to explore the essence of life. True cultivation does not begin with the denial of emotions; rather, it comes through deeply experiencing their illusory and impermanent nature. Thus, all the rises and falls of emotions in this book ultimately point to the same core: the sacred phrase revealed in the mysterious experience described in the preface, “Lu-La-Mu-Ta” (Union), naturally elevates into a pursuit of eternal oneness.
Stay tuned for the global release on March 19, 2026, of Volume 308 in the collected works of Living Buddha Liansheng, Sheng-Yen Lu: The Eternal Star: Remembering a Love Story of Years Gone By.
Please stay tuned!

Reading this book, what greets you is not abstruse doctrine, but a moment beginning with a five-year-old boy in kindergarten, whose heart first stirs for the girl sitting beside him. From these tender childhood feelings unfolds a thread that connects the many bonds of “emotion” throughout a lifetime: hazy admiration, passionate longing, regretful partings, and ultimately, a profound karmic connection with a spiritual partner.
Yet, this is not merely a memoir. Its subtle brilliance lies in “teaching through emotion.” The author transforms every stirring of the heart and every heartbreak in the mundane world into an opportunity to explore the essence of life. True spiritual practice does not begin with the denial of emotions, but through deeply experiencing their illusory and impermanent nature. Thus, all the emotional rises and falls in the book ultimately point to a single core: the sacred phrase revealed in the mysterious experience described in the preface, “Lu-La-Mu-Ta” (Union), naturally elevates into a pursuit of eternal oneness.
For general readers, this book offers a sincere window into the passionate humanity of a religious practitioner. For spiritual seekers, it provides a profound model for moving from the fullness of lived experience toward inner awakening.
Book 308 of the corpus of Living Buddha Liansheng, Sheng-Yen Lu, The Eternal Star, will be officially released in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese editions on March 19, 2026.
