Ven. Chi Chern (1955- ) is the first Dharma heir of renowned Ch'an(Zen) Master, Ven. Sheng-yen. He was born in Malaysia and ordained as monk by Master Zhu Mo(Chuk Mor)[1] in Penang. Later he 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. 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).
Chi Chern Fa Shi currently resides in Malaysia and is the principal of the Malaysian Buddhist Institute. He is also one of the most respected meditation teachers in Malaysia and Singapore.
