Da'an (Chinese: 大安) is a Chinese Buddhist monk and the current Abbot of Donglin Monastery.

About

Master Da'an (1959 - ) is a Buddhist monk and the current abbot of Donglin Monastery, the Ancestral Monastery of Pure Land Buddhism.

Born in 1959 in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Master Da'an was a guest professor at the Chinese Buddhist Academy and a professor at the University of International Business and Economics before ordaining under Venerable Chuan Yin in September 2001.[1] As the Abbot of Donglin Monastery, he was in charge of and was actively involved in the construction of the Donglin Great Buddha, the world's tallest gold-plated bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha.[2]

Master Da'an is known for practicing and propagating the Pure Land teachings and is capable of using modern scientific theories such as string theory and converging them with Pure Land teachings to show that Buddhism does not contradict modern science. [3] Master Da'an has travelled to numerous countries such as United States of America, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore to give Dharma talks on Pure Land Buddhism and to conduct Buddhist ceremonies such as the Three Refuges and Five Precept Ceremony, Brahma Net Sutra Bodhisattva Precepts Ceremony and Amitabha-recitation retreats.[4]

Master Da'an uses the Five Pure Land Sutras and One Sastra and the works of the Pure Land school's patriarchs as the foundation of his teaching with strong advocation on the parallel importance of both understanding and practice.
