聖公長老奉安讚頌委員會謹啟

Elder Master
Sheng Yi cautiously disciplined
himself yet was lenient with
others. We can see the spirit of his
self-sacrifice for others through
observation of these small things.
Editor's notes: On August 3,
2010 at 2:46 a.m., retired Elder
Abbot Sheng Yi of Po Lam Chan
Monastery in Lantau Island,
Hong Kong, peacefully entered
Nirvana. Elder Master Sheng Yi
was a native of Xinhui, Canton,
China. He lived to be 92 years
old, was a monastic for 69 years
and an ordained Bhikshu for 67
years. He received the Dharma
from Elder Monk Hsu Yun as
the 9th patriarch of the Wei Yang
School at the age of thirty-six.
Besides restoring Po Lam Chan
Monastery, he held office as the
4th fourth Abbot of the Po Lin
Monastery at Ngong Ping Plateau
from 1983 to 1990. At that time,
the Venerable Master had invited
Dharma Master Sheng Yi to
lecture on the Brahma Net Sutra
Bodhisattva Precepts and the Vajra
Sutra, at Buddhist Lecture Hall in
Hong Kong.
