To uphold the teachings of Root Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng and implement True Buddha educational initiatives,in 2019, the True Buddha Foundation (TBF) will conduct a number of educational networking workshops (ENW) in Taiwan. The first ENW (ENW 1) is for dharma propagating personnel of all levels, principals of cultivation venues, and True Buddha School (TBS) ordained sangha.

The second ENW (ENW 2) is a training class for masters promoted in 2016-2018. All new masters and rinpoches are invited to register for participation in this training workshop.

True Buddha School (TBS) masters will share with ENW participants their insights concerning Vajrayana samaya precepts, True Buddha lineage, and the management and guidance of cultivation venues.
