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.
