Health, Peace, and Harmony — An Introduction to Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and Guang Huan Mi Zong

More than 2,500 years ago, the great teacher of humanity, Shakyamuni Buddha, founded the world-renowned Buddhism and its teachings to resolve the problems of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Today, in this Dharma Vanishing Era, plagues and disasters abound. In response to these conditions, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi descended to the human world, inheriting the profound Buddhist teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. To rescue sentient beings, he founded Guang Huan Mi Zong (GHMZ) and spread GHMZ Great Perfection Dharma. This year marks both the 40th anniversary of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi’s manifestation and teaching, and the 20th anniversary of the founding of Holy Mountain Buddha Land. On this occasion, Guang Huan Mi Zong sincerely thanks people around the world for their attention, concern, and support. For the first time, Guang Huan Mi Zong publicly presents the remarkable achievements of its 40 years of development.

Both the title “Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi” and the name “Guang Huan Mi Zong” were bestowed by Mahavairocana Buddha. Upholding the mission of “Relieve illnesses, Rescue Lives, and Enlighten Sentient Beings,” and the vision of “Human Health, World Peace, Religious Harmony,” Holy Master started to teach his teachings in the year 1986. He has continuously spread the Dharma throughout the globe for 40 years. After the millennium, under the guidance of the Buddha and Jesus, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi journeyed westward to the United States and established Holy Mountain Buddha Land. At that time, the ultimate prophecy concerning the Dharma Vanishing Era, made by Shakyamuni Buddha, was discovered: “Two thousand five hundred years after the Nirvana of Buddha, a sage who can impart three types of Supreme Yoga, will come forth to teach Buddhism. His Holiness will disseminate the Supreme Dharma in a virtuous and gracious place in a western country. Buddhism will be flourishing and prospering across the world.” People came to realize that Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi is the one foretold in this prophecy, and he is carrying out exactly what was predicted.

In 2012, the chief of a Native American tribe, through communication, observation, and comparison with the prophecy of the Sioux prophet Black Elk in 1872—“A messenger of God, clothed in a red cloak, will come from the East, bringing messages to restore the laws of the Native Americans”—confirmed that Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi is indeed the prophesied figure. Thus, two prophecies from East and West, transcending time and space, converged upon the same individual—Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi!

As the only supreme master in the modern age who has attained the Great Perfection, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi has accomplished ten extraordinary achievements that command the attention of all:

  1. For 2,500 years, Buddhism had been scattered across various sects, existing in fragmented forms. As an enlightened master of the Great Perfection, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi revealed the complete system of Guang Huan Mi Zong’s Great Perfection Dharma, presenting Buddhism in a fully integrated structure for the first time. All esoteric practices from known sects can be found within this complete system of the Great Perfection.
  2. In his teaching, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi places “Human Health” as the foremost priority, with the ultimate goal of resolving the problem of birth, aging, sickness, and death. He advocates the pursuit of “true” health, attained through cultivation and awakening, enabling complete liberation. By applying higher-dimensional Dharma to resolve three-dimensional issues of life and death, he provides the ultimate solution to the crises humanity faces today.
  3. In 2009, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi started to teach “One Day Two Practices and Three Chantings Dharma”, derived from Guang Huan Mi Zong Great Perfection, to the public for free, and publicly revealed the “Seven-Word Mantra.” This innovative mantra broke new ground in Buddhist history, reshaping humanity’s understanding of mantras. Continuous chanting of this mantra allows practitioners not only to experience the wondrous power of the Dharma but also to improve their health. This was another great contribution to Buddhism.
  4. For 40 years, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi has tirelessly traveled to teach the Dharma in nearly 20 countries and regions across the globe. Millions of people have learned his teachings, including those from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, South Africa, India, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and many other countries and regions. Among them are not only Buddhists but also Christians, Taoists, Muslims, Hindus, and others—demonstrating a teaching that transcends religions. By the length of time, the global reach, and the scale of people he has guided, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi can be regarded as the greatest Dharma-preaching master of all time.
  5. Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi openly teach the ancient secret practice of Guang Huan Mi Zong Great Perfection Health Dharma, emphasizing practical results and true health. Through cultivation, 90% of practitioners have alleviated or eliminated their illnesses. Serious diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary disease, liver disease, dementia, depression, allergies, obesity, migraines, insomnia, bone disorders, infertility, and more have been cured. Millions of letters of gratitude document countless health miracles.
  6. At the turn of the millennium, under the guidance of Mahavairocana Buddha, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi crossed the ocean to the United States. After over 20 years of effort, Guang Huan Mi Zong has now grown into the largest Buddhist organization in the Eastern United States, forming a sangha team composed of ordained monks, resident volunteers, and devoted disciples, with its membership reaching into the hundreds of thousands. Under the leadership of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, they have created one miracle after another in the development of Guang Huan Mi Zong and the construction of Holy Mountain Buddha Land.
  7. In 2006, guided by Jesus Christ, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi acquired a temple in Upstate New York, transforming it into the Western Shrine. Using this as the center, he established Holy Mountain Buddha Land, which now comprises three areas: (1) the core area centered on the Western Shrine; (2) Amsterdam Health City, with the Health Hall, Peace Hall, Five World Buddhas Temple, and Goddess of Mercy Temple; (3) the Spiritual Center and World Chinese Culture Center, centered on Spiritual Mountain Buddha Temple and Ephratah Villa (a site foreseen by ancient Native American prophecy as the location of a great city).
  8. Holy Mountain Buddha Land, built under the guidance of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, is a pure land on earth, a tangible realization of the Pure Land longed for by Buddhist practitioners. It is a paradise for cultivators, a large experimental base for integrating Eastern and Western cultures and achieving Religious Harmony, and a future Holy Land for global Buddhists and religious followers of all traditions.
  9. In Upstate New York, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi developed Holy Mountain Buddha Land into a center that combines tourism, sightseeing, education, health, wellness, and Buddhism. By holding numerous cultural exchange events, he has spread wisdom to countless people in the West. Today, Holy Mountain Buddha Land has become both a platform for showcasing Chinese culture in America and a beloved destination welcomed by local communities.
  10. Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi also established the Guang Huan Mi Zong Holy Mountain Buddhist Institute, forming a unique education system that combines Great Perfection Dharma with practical training and the Five Wisdom, aiming at true spiritual accomplishment. This system integrates both gradual and sudden enlightenment methods, shaping a practical path of authentic cultivation.

For 40 years, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi has tirelessly disseminated the true Dharma and enlightened sentient beings, achieving miraculous results that have drawn worldwide attention. In 2018, China’s official magazine “China Talent” published a comprehensive report on the contributions Guang Huan Mi Zong has made to human society.

In the past two decades, legislatures in New York, California, and other U.S. states have repeatedly awarded Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi certificates of outstanding community contributions. U.S. presidents and White House offices have also sent letters or emails expressing their appreciation of Guang Huan Mi Zong. Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi has emphasized that President Trump’s vision of promoting World Peace and bringing real benefits to the American people aligns with his own vision—helping people achieve true health and making America great again.

In 2006, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi declared in the “Health and Peace Manifesto” in New York: “The freedom and health of the world’s people, along with mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among nations, are the foundation of social stability and of world peace.” With this farsighted vision, he said: “Every member of Holy Mountain Buddha Land shoulders a common mission: to resolve humanity’s health crisis with the Supreme Dharma of the Buddha passed down through the ages. This embodies the contemporary value of Chinese cultural spirit across time and nations.”

With boundless compassion, wisdom, vows, and actions, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi is guiding humanity, empowering people, and leading them beyond the dilemmas of civilization. He is ushering human civilization into a higher dimension, opening a new era.
