Lu was born on the eighteenth of the fifth Lunar month, 1945,
in the county of Chiayi at Taiwan. He now resides in the Seattle

Christianity, Taoism, Sutrayana and Tantric Buddhism. Master
Lu keeps a disciplined schedule throughout the day and has been
practicing yoga and meditation everyday for over thirty five years.
He has already reached the stage in which any yoga he engages
in manifests a response. His inner world encompasses the Buddhist
Tripitaka as well as the knowledge of the Supreme Consciousness
of the Universe. Having achieved Enlightenment, Master Lu is
revered by his students as a Living Buddha, Lian-shen. To date,
the number of students all over the world who have taken refuge
