Second patriarch of the Seal-Mind School 印心宗 of Esoteric Buddhism, after Dàyú 大愚, the school's founder and first patriarch.

Biography

Wáng was the son of Wáng Xīnfǔ 王欣甫. As a youth, he often accompanied his mother to Pǔtuó shān 普陀山 and other Buddhist sites, which left a lasting impression on him. In 1902 he received his Xiùcái 秀才 degree. He then studied English at St. John's University 聖約翰大學 in Shànghǎi 上海, and in 1907 became an official translator. In this capacity, he traveled to India and Southeast Asia. Upon his return, he took a job in the Běiyáng 北洋 Communications Bureau.

At that time, he studied Pure Land cultivation under Xiáguāng 霞光 in Běijīng 北京. He also studied Chán 禪 as well. After that, for some ten years he worked in Chéngdū 成都, before returning to Běijīng.

In 1930, he took refuge under Dàyú 大愚 in Běijīng.

From 1931 to 1941, Wáng lectured and wrote commentaries on various scriptures (see below). It is said that he helped Carsun Chang (Zhāng Jūnmài 張君勱) at Běiijng University with certain points of Buddhist Philosophy.

During the Second Sino-Japanese war, Wáng followed the invitation of Wú Lǐmén 吳禮門, Cài Chǔáng 蔡楚昂, and Hóu Jūnlù 侯君陸 to come to Shànghǎi. He went and set up the Seal-Mind Hermitage 印密精舍 on Hǎiníng Road 海寧路.

After the war, he held a 49 day dharma assembly 法會 in Tiānjīn 天津 for the protection of the nation.
