Dechan Jueren sees the past, the present and the future, and understands his mission as the Dharma Lineage Holder. He resigned his position as a plant manager in China, and donated all his savings of over one million RMB to the cause of reviving Buddha-Dharma. He said, “I want to let people know the truth of the Buddha-Dharma again.” He experienced all kinds of hardship as he journeyed over great rivers and mountains in order to transmit Dharma and to heal people. He has left indelible impressions everywhere he traveled.

In 1989, a discovery was made in the heaven palace of the North Pagoda at Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. They found sharira, or the bone relic of the Buddha himself, sutra and tantra engraved in silver plates in Chinese, two Chinese Stupas of the Vajradhatu and the Garbhadhatu, and the Stupa of the Five Wisdom Buddhas.

Later, a mandala of The Esoteric School was also discovered in the crypt, the earth palace, of Famensi, or Dharma Doorway Temple at Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. These discoveries predict the revival of the Esoteric School.

Grandmaster Huiling found Dechan Jueren on the 99th days after the discovery. Dechan Jueren received complete empowerment and transmission, and became MahaVairocana Dharma King, the 49th Mahacharya of the Esoteric School.

“I am MahaVairocana Dharma King. I received the lineage from Mahacharya Huiling of Esoteric Buddhism. The initiation took place at Zhaojue Monastery in Sichuan, China, with the renowned Master Qingding as the witness. I received all and every dharma instrument, sutra, tantra, robe, and crown of Subhakarasimha, Vajrabodhi and Amoghavajra. I am the sole lineage holder.

I began transmitting dharma to the public since 1990 in order to reveal the exquisite spirit of Esoteric Dharma that was hidden for more than a thousand year. He who comes in contact with it shall grasp the method of knowing oneself and will be able to apply the means of changing oneself.

By letting people to discover the existence of one’s bad root-nature and by applying the how-and-what-to-do so as not to allow the bad root-nature to rise again, then the beast nature can be withered. Only so can we let people to liberate themselves from their self-limitation and the restriction of the environment’s condition.

Only when people have grasped these methods, then they would no longer limit themselves. This is the method to “expose the truth of appearance”. Thus, people shall really know the method to break through the form of the ego, of the human, of all living beings and of the long-life ones.

The method can make people really see the ignorance, attachment, and limitation of a human life that brought to oneself every suffering. Only when he who has truly grasped and applied such dharma, he will be able to liberate himself from suffering”– Dechan Jueren.
