Yogi Tan

Yogi Tan Whui Eng is the founder and spiritual councilor of Persatuan Buddha Dharma Padmasambhava Malaysia. In 1993, Yogi Tan Whui Eng paid homage to His Holiness Dunsey Garab Dorje Rinpoche and since then consecutively received the complete initiation into the Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism of the Dudjom Lineage of Nyingmapa. In 1996, Yogi Tan made a pilgrimage to India with His Holiness Rinpoche and at Bodhgaya, made a vow to spread Tibetan Vajrayana practice in Malaysia.

In early 1999, during his annual visit to Malaysia, His Holiness Rinpoche gave the auspicious name of “Persatuan Buddha Dharma Padmasambhava Malaysia” to our newly formed dharma association. Since then, our most respected spiritual guide and councilor, Rev. Yogi Tan, spread the Vajrayana teachings in Klang. At the same time, Yogi Tan applied to the Registrar of Societies for an official license to carry out religious practices. In 2005, the official license was obtained and Persatuan Buddha Dharma Padmasambhava Malaysia became a member of the Vajrayana Buddhist Council Malaysia (VBCM).

In September 2001, Yogi Tan organized the first Puja which was held at Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Mahabodhi, No.6, Jalan Goh Hock Huat, 41400 Klang and a meditation / retreat centre at Taman Eng Ann was set up for the purpose of carrying out Vajrayana practices such as offerings to the Buddhas, offerings to the departed, retreats, meditations, fire pujas, etc. Yogi Tan then organized the first Great Vajrasattva Puja For World Peace, Harmony and Compassion, and the success of which culminated it into becoming an auspicious annual affair.

Yogi Tan`s main motivation is to develop spiritual practice as well as creating harmony in the family. This will help to build a healthy, happy and prosperous Vajrayana family for the purpose of achieving harmony and balance in dharma activities, business activities and personal activities.

Today, through the efforts of Yogi Tan, dharma centers and retreats have been set up in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Klang, Bukit Mertajam, Malacca, Kluang, Johor Bharu, Sarawak Kuching & Miri, Brunei, and Indonesia for the purpose of spreading Buddhism for the benefit of all sentient beings.
