WuJue MiaoTian ...

Zen Master WuJue MiaoTian, born Ming-Liang Huang in Pingtung County, Taiwan, is the 85th Patriarch of Linji order of the school of Zen. He began teaching in 1983 and founded the Chinese Heart Chan Educational Foundation in 1988. In 1999, Master MiaoTian established the Taiwanese Zen Buddhist Association. His unconventional interpretation of Buddhist Dharma and his insistence in promulgating Zen Buddhism as a secular Zen master brought much tension between him and some traditional Buddhist sects in Taiwan. In 2004, Abbot Shi Yongxin of Shaolin Temple visited the Zen Master with abbots from six other renowned Buddhist temples in China for religious and cultural exchanges. Three years later, Master MiaoTian led over one thousand pupils to Shaolin Temple to connect the Chinese Zen lineage across the straight.
