Guang Huan Mi Zong Holy Mountain Buddhist Institute
Spring Enrollment – March 14, 2025
Under the compassionate auspices of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, to disseminate the “Mahayana Orthodoxy” and expedite the realization of his extraordinary missions of health, peace, and harmony, individuals endowed with profound capacities are invited to congregate in the Saha world, with the aim of achieving spiritual ascension to the blissful Pure Land.
Plans include the establishment of sanctuaries across the five directions and ten grounds, the creation of mandalas, and the extensive dissemination of the Buddhist Dharma, encompassing teachings such as the Nine Levels of Great Perfection Dharma to develop spiritual elites and enable them to achieve great accomplishments.
In 2025, the Institute will uphold a continuous admissions policy, recruiting 20 students per session. Prospective students must be between the ages of 18 and 30, hold at least a college degree, be free from familial responsibilities and financial liabilities, possess professional competencies, and demonstrate exceptional spiritual aptitude. Applications are highly encouraged, with selections made through rigorous interviews.
The academic curriculum is divided into Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Postgraduate courses, extending over three, six, and nine years respectively, with a structured evaluation system facilitating advancement through merit-based examinations.
Students at the Institute who have taken vows as disciples of Guang Huan Mi Zong may, following a thorough review, be granted exemption from tuition fees.
All new students are mandated to undergo a one-month foundational training upon enrollment, with admission contingent on performance; successful candidates may receive a complete waiver of tuition fees.
Guang Huan Mi Zong Holy Mountain Buddhist Institute is committed to the development of professional Dharma Preachers. Students who excel academically may, upon review by the Institute’s Scholarship Committee, be awarded scholarships.
To ascertain the quality of Dharma Preachers, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi will personally handpick the most distinguished graduates to serve as Dharma disciples. International graduates, having passed their assessments, have the option to continue their service at the Institute or become recommended for positions within the Guang Huan Mi Zong Buddhist organization worldwide.
In response to the needs of sentient beings and to deliver those with good affinity, the Guang Huan Mi Zong Dharma Affairs Committee will offer a variety of short-term Buddhist meditation retreats and specialized health training courses. Inquiries are welcome.
