Master Sui Beng
learnt Feng Shui from Master T'an Yang Wu around the
time of the Second World War. At the age of 19, Master
Sui Beng became a Buddhist monk. When he was 38, he
arrived in Penang, Malaysia to serve in a temple
carrying with him the books authored by Master T'an Yang
Wu. He was also a traditional Chinese herbalist and
physician and was accredited with the formulation of the
‘sampo’ medical oil.
He initially traveled around Peninsular Malaysia
preaching Buddhist teachings and healing people with his
medical skills. In 1956, while serving at the Sampo
Temple in Cameron Highlands, he met with Master Eu See
Ying @ Yen Pen who was stationed there. It was there
that they discovered they had both been disciples of
Master T'an Yang Wu. On realizing that, they discussed
their Feng Shui experiences and ideas in great details.
However, their reunion was short-lived as Master Eu See
Ying @ Yee Pen was taken till and returned to Penang
where he died in 1957.
A few
years later, Master Sui Beng sold his rights of the
‘sampo’ medical oil to a Singaporean in order to
purchase a plot of land in Johor Bharu where he
established the Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) Temple. He
later set up an old folks’ home and an orphanage for the
retarded.
In
1983, he acknowledged Leyau Yoke Sai (Francis) as a
disciple after Francis Leyau personally visited and
sought out him at the Kuan Yin temple. It is
interesting to note that the temple’s Feng Shui was
personally done by Master Sui Beng and with the benefits
of good Feng Shui, he was able to run the old folks’
home and the orphanage which had a combined monthly
overhead of RM 70,000 on donations that he attributed to
the Feng Shui that worked very well.
In
1997, Master Sui Beng donated RM 200,000 to the state's
coffers following the government’s appeal to the public
of South East Asia. On 5 July 1998, Master Sui Beng
passed away leaving behind a cash saving of more than
RM10 million, two plots of land and a row of fifteen
double-storey shop houses in Kulai, Johor Bharu, all of
which he donated to the Buddhist Association of
Malaysia.
