Dharma Talks by Ven. Jiru

Born in Malaysia, Ven. Jiru learned about Theravāda Buddhism and ordained in
Thailand in 1980. He later studied Chinese Buddhism and ordained in that tradition
under the late great Buddhist Master Venerable Zhumo in Penang, in 1986. He was
supervisor of Triple Wisdom Hall and vice-chairperson of Buddhist Association of
Malaysia Youth Division. He was a speaker at the Triple Wisdom Hall's Buddhist
research class and several youth training camps. In 1991, he held the post as the
religious advisor of the Sabah State Liaison Committee of Malaysia where he helped
establish the "Sabah and Labuan Buddhist Educational Foundation".

Venerable Jiru came to the United States in 1992 to give Dharma Talks, and shortly
thereafter he was appointed the Abbot of Great Enlightenment Temple of Buddhist
Association of U.S. in New York. In 1993 he became Secretary of the "Buddhist Union
of New York". He was later invited to St. Louis, Missouri in 1995, and was appointed
as the vice-chairperson of Mid-America Buddhist Association in 1996. He formed the
Youth Buddhist Educational Foundation in the following year. He became the Abbot
of Mid-America Buddhist Association since 1999, and Chairman of International
Buddhism Friendship Association since 2000.
