Book Description

July 1995
Grand Master Lu?'s unique spiritual odyssey began one day in 1969. While disinterestedly watching a Buddhist festival, Grand Master Lu was called out from the crowd by a trance medium and told the Buddhas wanted him to spread the Dharma. That night, Grand Master Lu was magically transported to the magnificent Buddha realm where he was greeted by many Bodhisattvas. During the next several years, many remarkable and mysterious happenings transformed Grand Master Lu?'s life. An invisible teacher from the spirit realm came to teach Grand Master Lu many esoteric arts. An old Taoist teacher in the Taiwan mountains taught Grand Master Lu ancient Taoist techniques. Meanwhile, Grand Master Lu exorcised spirits from the spiritually possessed, assisted departed spirits, and spoke with various heavenly beings. This book will inspire anyone oriented towards the esoteric arts.

This review is from: Encounters With the World of Spirits (Paperback)
My entire life has been transformed as a result of reading this book. Had I not read this book my life would have no meaning and I would always be searching for answers. Grand Master explains Buddhism in a way anyone can understand. He has turned my life around by answering questions like: "What is the meaning of life? Is life really fair? Where will I go when I die? What is cause and effect?" Even if you are not buddhist I recommend it to people of all walks of life and faiths. There is a saying that to hear the word 'buddha' just once is not without merit or virtue. After reading this book I have taken refuge in Grand Master and it was the most meaningful thing I've ever done in my life.

The English translation can be improved, as the Chinese version is much better.
