Origin
~
After six years of dedicating himself to the propagation of
the concept of Yi Ching and Feng Shui, Master Hun Yuan founded Chan Chi Shan Hsien Fo Temple in Fugui Village, a
small serene countryside in Guo Hsing
Hsiang, Nanto County.
It provides the followers an excellent place for
ru-shi and chu-shi learning.
Recovering from a serious illness in
1982, Master Hun Yuan started devoting
himself in the applications of Yi Ching and
Feng Shui in Taichung. Since then, Master Hun Yuan had been
consulting and solving people's problems by using feng shui cures. As more people noticed he significant benefit from his help, more people came to
him for advice.
During that time, Master Hun Yuan would provide the wisdom enlightment blessing to young kids every Sunday. As the
site was located at a busy area, in view of the safety ofthe youngsters once they walked out of sect site, he started to picture another sect site in a tranquil area.
In 1988, someone recommended a place to Master Hun Yuan
and after the observation of the area, he realized the location was what he had been looking for. Hence, with the support and kindness donation from followers, the
land was purchased and this is where the Hsien Fo Temple
is currently located.
From 1989 up to now, the continual construction of San Bo Temple, Da Fan Temple and Da An Temple are at the
final stage of completion. They not only offer the disciples and followers a solemn site to cultivate the buddhist
spirit but a tranquil environment for learning.

Wang Chan Lao Tzu
~
Wang Chan Lao Tzu is also known as Guigu Zi who was a famous
military tactics and strategies expert
in China ancient time.
Quoted from Ning Bo Fu Chi, he
was born in Western Chou Dynasty and his
real name was Hsu Wang. In the writng of
Chao Gong Wu Tan Shu Chi, it stated that
Guigu Zi was born in the Warring States
Period and dwelled serenely in a place
called¡§Guigu¡¨, in Yang Hsian, Ying
Chuan, where he named himself Guigu
later.
Guigu Zi is popularly know as the Sage of Wisdom of China. The Chinese title of Wu Zi Tia Shu was one of his
writings and has been read often till now. Besides that, his famous
theory of Zongheng Shue, the military tactics and strategies, had great influence in the Warring States Period. The
famous tacticians, Sun-Bin, Pang-Chuan, Su-Chin and
Chang-Yi were all his the pupils during that time.
The theory
of Zongheng basically came from the
primal concept of Yin and Yang, the two
opposite elements of the universe. The
two complementary symbols can be
exhibited in nature as prosperity and
emptiness, growth and decline, solid and
softness, fortune and misfortune,
something and nothing, good and evil,
etc. All things in existence are
interdependent and interactive and that
has been described in the dynamic
interplay of yang(male) and yin(female)
has generated into the formation of
bagua, the family of eight trigrams.
Therefore, all the changes explain
precisely why all intricate phenomenons
occure in self's daily life.
Basically,
the methods, techniques, theories and
principles indicated in Guigu Zi's
military tactics and strategies, are
derived from the principles of the
universe. There is no conflict between
them. They can be the unbeatable, can be
the enormous , and even can be the
slightest.
Furthermore, the strategies are
universal and broad that they can be
applied on the categories of military,
politics, foreign affairs, social,
economy, and human relationship.
Generally speaking, they focus on eight
subjects and they are heaven, earth,
sun, moon, yin, yang, spirit, and god.
His
thoughts on the tactics were originally
derived from Yi Ching Bagua, the oldest
philosophy in Chinese ancient culture.
He is the greatest philosopher,
scientist and tactician in the world.
His contribution has always been
acknowledged and admired among the
knowledgeable ones.
After Guigu Zi became a Bodhisattva, he
was known as Wang Chan Lao Tzu, Chan Shi
Bodhisattva, Chan Shi Ye Tzu, and also
the Hsuan FengYong Chen Tian Tzun. And
that's one of the Bodhisattvas we
worship in Chan Chi Shan Hsien Fo
Temple.
There is no too much trace about his
dwelling. However, people believe that
the Guigu Dong in Chi Hsian, a city of
Cheng Chou, Henan Province, was the
place he practiced Buddhism. There is a
statue of Lao Tzu standing outside the
cave for followers to worship.

Venerable Master Hun Yuan
~
Born on
January 1943 in Nan Tou County, Master
Hun Yuan grew up in a countryside called
Chong Liao Hsiang. His family has been
farmers for generations. Ever since the
Master was a kid, he has aspirations in
his heart to cultivate himself in the
Buddhist teachings and to pursue the
mystical ancient knowledge of the
universe.
Every day,
Master Hun Yuan greets with people
cheerfully. He always inspires everyone,
¡§to work till they die rather than to
die in sickness¡¨, and ¡§to appreciate
others as who just like a mirror often
reminding you what you might do wrong.¡¨
He guides his followers with profund and
deep wisdom through his attitude of
acknowledge one¡¦s favor, appreciate
one¡¦s favor and return one¡¦s favor.
Master Hun
Yuan started to propagate Wei Hsin Sect
of Yi Ching and Feng Shui after recovery
from illness and later established Shien
Fo Temple in 1988. Up to now, there are
four sub-chapters established and they
are the San Bo Temple, built in 1993, in
Houli Shiang, Taichung County, the Da
Fan Temple, built in 1994 in Qionglin
Shiang, Hsinchu County, the Da An
Temple, built in 1998, in Taipei, and
the Ksohsiung Site established in 2002.
Master Hun
Yuan always sees himself as the guardian
of mother nature and encourages others
to put their efforts into it. During the
three decades of practicing, he knows
that the social harmonies basically
result from the interaction of each
single family to their living
environment. Therefore, in 1995, he
founded the China Humanity Pure Land
Merits Association to enlighten people
on the concept of Feng Shui and thus to
improve their living situation.
Deep down
in his heart, he knows that people need
to be enlightened and re-educated on the
idea of ¡§environmental protection¡¨ and
hence to create a harmonious society and
a Buddhist Pure Land . With this in
mind, Master Hun Yuan started a daily TV
broadcasting program on cable TV and
later on TTV in 1997. Up to date, there
are thousands of followers learning the
concept of Yi Ching and Feng Shui through
the programs.
