 His disciples asked me what is the guru mantra? I told them that is the heart mantra of our Grandmaster Living Buddha Lian-Shen: ”Om guru, lian-shen sidhi hum.”

They wanted to visit my shrine, to see how I make the offering, and how I cultivate the dharma. They wanted to learn from me how to grow the sarira. I extended my warmest welcome. I recalled Grandmaster's teaching, as a disciple of True Buddha School, I must be broad-minded, upright, without any discrimination. All human beings are equal and will be enlightened. I did not expect to have such response after learning the dharma from Grandmaster for three years only. I have cultivated once a day, chanting the guru mantra and High King Sutra, and make offerings to the sariras for half a year.

It is a big deal to have good causal relationship with dharma master Xin-Dao. I recalled when I attended the soul deliverance ritual held in Seattle on 15th of August when a death convict from Singapore by the name of Lian hua Bin Fa told us how he took refuge in Living Buddha Lian-Shen.

Living Buddha in his letter instructed him to chant the High King mantra one thousand times, and to chant guru mantra and cultivate the True Buddha Tantra every day. He had seen a miracle. He was acquitted and released two years later. He was at Seattle personally to relate his story. Many of his follow inmates had sariras after cremation.

This also reminded me of other responses. After I have chanted the High King sutra for five hundred times, I dreamed that a lot of cockroaches crawled out of my forehead after the medicinal paste was taken out. And little worms and hairless mouses were taken out. My unwholesome karma was lessened. I hope all the disciples of the True Buddha School will chant the guru mantra: 

”Om, guru Lian-Shen sidhi hum” and High King mantra daily.

May I pay my respect to the Grandmaster and his wife.

Wishing them remain healthy; and living in this world forever.

Let us first talk about death sentenced convicts learning the Tantra, and obtaining sarira. This piece of news had shocked the whole world. The new papers from Singapore and Malaysia namely Sin Ming daily, New life, and Ming Sheng had used the front page to report the news.

A group of death sentenced convicts from the Changi Prison in Singapore took refuge in Living Buddha Lian-Shen, Master Lu Sheng-Yen in the prison.

They cultivated the True Buddha Tantra with unceasing effort. After executions, they were cremated and many sariras were found in their remains.

They were:

1. Lian Hua Zhong Yi

2. Lian Hua Yu Xin

3. Lian Hua A Lin

4. Lian Hua qing Wun

5. Lian Hua Liang Cai

6. Lian Hua Jin Feng

7. Lian Hua Ming Hai

8. Lian Hua Chin Bao

9. Lian Hua Bao Cheng

What is Sarira?

It is a mixture of lots of ”precept”,” tranquillity” and ”wisdom”. It is an indestructible crystal from a Buddha's bones. The white one is known as bone sarira. The black one is known as hair sarira; and the red one is known as fresh sarira.

There are three types of sarira:

1. Whole body sarira: The whole body is indestructible, e.g. the sariras of Duo Bao Buddha, the sixth partiarch of Zen Buddhism Master Hui Neng, and Master Chi Hang of Taiwan.

2. Fragment body sarira: those remained by Shakyamuni Buddha and revered monks, so that human and heaven realms will have the merits of receiving offerings.

3. dharmakaya( dharma body) sarira - all the sutras regardless of vehicles.

True Buddha Tantra is truly a righteous dharma. That is why even death convicts can have sarira remain behind after cultivating the True Buddha Tantra.

Sarira is found only in the remains of revered monks, not in the ordinary folks. And now sariras are found in the death sentenced convicts of True Buddha School, what is the significance? It goes to prove that Living Buddha Lian-Shen Master Lu Sheng-Yen is a real unrestrained flower light Buddha. True Buddha Tantra are taught by the Buddha. The nine convicts are nine immortals who were here to show the tantric response.
