The True Buddha School (Chinese: 真佛宗) is a (Vajrayana oriented) Buddhist sect, founded in the 1970s by Lu Sheng-yen as Ling Xian Zong (靈仙宗; School of Efficacious Immortals). While predominantly focused on Tantric Buddhist teachings and practices, it includes also deities and practices from Taoism.

Quotes
[edit]- A child, crafting a sand pagoda with a pure heart, can achieve rebirth in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Conversely, those who construct tangible pagodas driven by worldly ambitions for fame and material wealth find themselves unable to ascend to the heavenly realms.
- HH Grand Master Sheng-Yen Lu, founder of the True Buddha School, as quoted at https://chinyintemple.ca/
- Not all Buddhists like the True Buddha School, and some find the grandiose claims [founder Lu Sheng-Yen] advances for himself unacceptable.
There is, however, little doubt that the School emerged from a venerable Buddhist tradition, and Lu has a real Buddhist pedigree.- Gladys Kwok (pseudonym), "Buddhists Falsely Accused of Being Falun Gong Members in Hong Kong", Bitter Winter (September 27, 2021)
