Ven. Chi Chern (Chinese: 繼程; pinyin: Jìchéng, birth name Zhōu Míngtiān, 周明添) (born in 1955) is the first Dharma heir of renowned Ch'an (Zen) Master, Ven. Sheng-yen.^[1] He is also one of the most respected meditation teachers in Malaysia and Singapore. Born in Malaysia and ordained as monk by Master Zhu Mo(Chuk Mor) in Penang,^[2] he later went to Taiwan to study in the Foguang University.

In 1980, he participated in four-weeks-retreats led by Master Sheng-yen. It was during this retreat that he had his deep spiritual experience.^[3] After his experience is confirmed by Master Sheng-yen, he went back to Malaysia and started to teach Dharma. Six years later, he returned to Taiwan and received Dharma transmission from Master Sheng-yen. His Dharma name is "Chuan Xian Jian Mi" (Seeing the esoteric, transmitting the exoteric).
