Bhikkhuni Shih Ceng Da A Wang De Ji

USA – China

From a Buddhist family upbringing in Sichuan, China to leading the International Buddhism Sangha Association and serving as an Abbess of various temples around the world, including in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Most Venerable Bhikkhuni Shih Ceng Da A Wang De Ji has followed her spiritual path to actualization.

After studying Abhidharma and the Maha Prajnaparamitta Sutra, as well as, the Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way, her teacher Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III instructed her to meditate until she saw her Yidam, yet she could not. Thus, he asked if her faith and purity were at 100%. He indicated that even 1% of insincerity to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas would prevent her from seeing them.

She then vowed that she would become a nun if her practice allowed her to see Kwan Yin Bodhisattva. Upon comprehending impermanence and experiencing a vision, she cut her own hair and went to tonsure in Taiwan.

She returned to the USA and was initiated to higher teachings by her spiritual leader that yielded her selection as an adept of inner-tantric wisdom. She was then declared to be a reincarnation of a close, trusted disciple of Green Tara. Her spiritual acumen continued to manifest and she was acknowledged as an eminent monastic of a generation and a great vessel of the Dharma, a Holy Guru.
