Hsing Yun

MR. MONK AND THE FAILED KIDNEYS

Buddhist monk Hsing Yun has died aged 95. An adherent of Humanistic Buddhism, he took a name literally meaning “nebula” to reflect his worldview. He founded the Fo Guang Shan order in 1967, which now has its tendrils all over the world. Politically he was known for his promotion of Chinese-Taiwanese unification. He had been in failing health for many years after suffering several strokes over a decade ago, and Clerically Dead meditates in acknowledgement.
