*Brief Biography of Venerable Chi Chern*
Born in Taiping (meaning serenity and peace in Chinese), Malaysia, in 1955,
Venerable Chi Chern was ordained as a monk in 1978. He has been trained
under many famous monks in Taiwan. In 1980, while taking a Chan retreat
with Chan Master Sheng Yen, Venerable Chi Chern received verification of
"seeing the true nature." He received transmission from Master Sheng Yen
in 1986.
As a serious Buddhist practitioner, Venerable Chi Chern has once gone for a
thousand-day solitary retreat. He also has been very active in the
Malaysian Buddhist circle and has taken many important posts such as Chair
of the Malaysian Young Buddhist Association, Dean of the Malaysian Buddhist
Training School, etc. His articles can be seen in many publications.
Venerable Chi Chern likes to share with people his knowledge of Dharma, so
for the past fifteen years, he has been traveling across the US to teach
Buddhism and basic methods of meditation. With no specific goals in mind,
Venerable Chi Chern employs various teaching styles to expand the Dharma in
accordance with the need of the students.
