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.
