Yiming Pureland Academy Center

Master Renze graduated from the Department of Physics at Shandong University. In 1990, he began studying meditation, and in early 1994, he took monastic vows at Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen. His preceptor was Master Huìtōng, the senior monk at Zhenru Monastery in Yunju Mountain, Jiangxi, who was a disciple of the venerable Master Xuyun. In the following years, he lived in seclusion, resided in the mountains, and practiced intensive meditation retreats.
In 2006, he founded the Yiming Pureland Academy Center in Beijing, where he has been teaching meditation and Dharma ever since.
Master Renze has comprehensive view and mastery in both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism. He uses the stages of the path as the foundation, and the three principal aspects of the paths: renunciation, Bodhicitta, and the wisdom of emptiness as the core.  His teachings are primarily focused on extinguishing self-attachment, removing karmic habits, repenting karmic obstacles.
