Biography of Ven Master Xuyun

20-part biographical series on Ven Master Xuyun (1840-1959), the greatest Chan master of China in the previous century. Very interesting to watch. It shows the kind of superhuman willpower and endurance that is required to become an enlightened master, a modern day Patriarch in Chan Buddhism.

LP Kob of Wat Khao Salika

LP Kob of Wat Khao Salika in Lopburi province is the master of LP Opasi. Although they have never met in person, it was LP Kob who taught LP Opasi (through telepathy) the Fire Kasina method of meditation, by concentrating the mind on a candle flame to attain Jhana. LP Kob was also eccentric on the outside but highly attained on the inside.
