Korean Son master Soen Sa Nim described the venerable Hsuan Hua as a tripitaka
master. I haven't tracked his teachings or activities since the late 70's but
was pleased to see that his students still exist. He always seemed very pious
and inspiring but I neve made the trip to meet him. To bad for me.
I've heard there was some contention about his claims to be dharma heir to
Chan master Hsu Yun. Since the various Chan lineages atrophied over the
centuries after the Ming dynasty and the maoists eradicated the rest, I don't
know how many Chinese can still claim an authentic decent.
So where is he now? Not his sharira but the former grave dweller himself. At
a guesthouse in sukhavati? Hosting 10,000 hua-tou's in akanishta?

practice TM but my Buddhist Guru is Hsuan Hua; whom I used to visit

The fact that he's no longer physically alive doesn't diminish our
relationship.

claims to be a buddhist then it is fair to question exactly what they
mean by that claim. Who is their teacher. What is their practice.
What kind of meditation do they perform - etc.
