Venerable Da’an, family name Wei, was a professor of University of International Business and Economics China and a visiting professor of China Buddhist Academy, where he lectured Pure Land Sutras and Sastras. He is now the Acting Abbot of Donglin Monastery, Chief Editor of Pure Land Magazine. His works includes: Studies of Pure Land Buddhism, A Collection of Pure Land Dictums, and hundreds published academic papers.
  Venerable Da’an refers Five Sutras and One Sastra and works of the patriarchs of Pure Land Buddhism as the foundation of his teaching. He strongly advocates the parallel importance of understanding and practice. Practically, he inherits the principles of the Sutras and the Sastras and takes a position to preserve the spirits of Pure Land Buddhism. His goal is to communicate the vows of Amitabha Buddha in a localized and modernized way to match different needs in our time to guide more people to practice and transcend into the Western Pure Land.
