About Dari Rulai Temple
The Los Angeles Temple was founded Dec 11, 1998 by Living Buddha Dechan Jueren.
We practice Hanmi Esoteric Buddhism: the complete teachings of the Mahavairocana Buddha passed down by Vajrasattva and Nagarjuna Bodhisattvas to Subhakarasimha, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra.
On August 15, 2008, the 105 year old Grand Master Fozhi, the Abbot of Yingtian Monastery in Chengdu, Sichuan province, passed on the Dharma Lineage Holder-ship of the Linji School of Chan/Zen Buddhism. Dechan Jueren is now the 47th Dharma Lineage Holder of Linji Chan/Zen Buddhism and the 16th Lineage Holder of the renowned Zhaojuie Monastery.
The Dari Rulai Temple is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Religious Corporation, and is supported by generous donations from benefactors, members, and students.
Lineage
The spiritual teachings and practices of ancient India were developed
by the Brahmans, and were then evolved and transmitted by the great
saint Shakyamuni Buddha over 2400 years ago.
Disciples of the Nepalese guru Nagarjuna Bodhisattva brought the Buddhist
teachings from Nalanda monastery in India to Xi'an city in China around
1300 years ago, and combined them with Taoism and Confucianism.
The awakened masters have preserved this knowledge through an unbroken
lineage in the Hanmi Chinese Esoteric School of Buddhism. The current
lineage bearer is Living Buddha Dechan Jueren.
