Daily Compassion
Grand Master Lu, the Holy Vajra Guru, has five million disciples around the world, and each one of them has their own unique story with him. The short film “Daily Compassion,” produced by Fazhotang in both Chinese and English, features interviews with 16 Chinese individuals from around the world, each with their own share of sorrow and setbacks in life. When Grand Master Lu calls their name and they feel his compassion and concern, even the strongest feelings of anger and sadness are transformed into peace and joy.
This film tells the story of such great compassion, portraying the daily life and true nature of Grand Master Lu.
