Our Genesis: Compassion Forged in a Dream

The true foundation of GeniusHub was not built on a business plan, but on a profound spiritual experience that revealed the Universal Reach of compassion.
 
Our founder, Zhanming, had spent many years immersed in sincere Buddhist cultivation, rooted deeply in the ancient Tradition of Pure Land Buddhism. Yet, the full, boundless extent of the Dharma’s power was made clear in the most unexpected way.
“I used to swat flies without a second thought, but one night, two angry fruit flies appeared in my dream. Feeling fear and compassion at the same time, I apologized to them, explained the Pure Land and the Buddha’s teachings, and chanted while inviting them to follow the Buddha. They happily disappeared, accepting the Dharma.”
This simple, yet powerful encounter with the smallest of beings solidified a core truth: If even two angry fruit flies could find peace and liberation through compassionate guidance, then the path to Pure Land is truly open to all sentient beings.
 
This dream became the blueprint for our service, directly shaping our three core principles:
  1. Rooted in Tradition: The guidance offered to the fruit flies—chanting the Buddha’s name and explaining the Pure Land—is the very essence of the Pure Land Buddhist Tradition that underpins all our rituals. It is the time-honored spiritual technology we use to help a peaceful transition.
  2. Experienced Mentorship: The ability to provide clear, effective spiritual guidance, even in a dream state, confirmed the necessity of Experienced Mentorship. Our practitioners are not just ritualists; they are seasoned spiritual guides who possess the clarity and wisdom to teach the soul directly, just as Zhanming taught the fruit flies.
  3. Global Reach: The fact that this profound spiritual guidance can be transmitted across time, space, and even species—from human to insect—validates the concept of Remote Support Worldwide. The Dharma is boundless, and our rituals bring this universal compassion directly to your home, wherever you are.

Founder Zhanming: Tested in Fire, Proven in Practice

GeniusHub was founded by myself and Jinglian after many years of sincere Buddhist cultivation.

Our daily spiritual routine includes chanting sacred names like Tathagata Buddha, Amitabha Buddha (Namo Amituofo), my grandfather and his teacher Master Han, reciting key sutras, performing prostrations, and dedicating merits to all sentient beings.

However, the true foundation of our practice was forged in a decade-long, life-and-death spiritual test. Our practice was not a hobby; it was a matter of spiritual survival.

Since 2004, we have faced unprecedented challenges that pushed us to the brink of despair. This constant, 24/7 spiritual warfare included:

  • Subtle physical afflictions and large-scale parasitic attacks.

  • Continuous, covert assault using advanced concepts of modern weaponry.

  • A relentless spiritual test that demanded absolute faith and diligence.

In that moment of absolute desperation, we turned to the spiritual lineage of my family—my grandfather and his teacher, Master Han—and fervently sought the aid of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Divine Beings.

Within months, we received a clear, tangible response. This crucible of suffering led to:

  • Unwavering Faith: Our confidence in the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Divine Beings became absolute.

  • Clear Communication: Our spiritual connection became increasingly smooth and direct.

  • A System for Survival: We learned that in any crisis, the first and most effective response is to seek the guidance of the Divine.

This lived spiritual transformation—tested and proven under the most extreme conditions—is the bedrock of every service we now offer.

Our Core Principles in Practice

Rooted in Pure Land Tradition

Our rituals are deeply rooted in the compassionate teachings of Pure Land Buddhism, a venerable tradition with an ancient, unbroken lineage. This venerable lineage emphasizes the boundless compassion of Amitabha Buddha and the path to liberation for all sentient beings, offering solace and guidance through ancient, time-honored practices.

Experienced Mentorship

Our compassionate guidance is led by seasoned Pure Land Buddhist practitioners (居士), many with decades of dedicated practice and deep understanding of the Dharma. They draw from a rich lineage of teachings, ensuring that every ritual is performed with profound authenticity and efficacy, rooted in the wisdom passed down through generations. 

Our Systematic Approach for Modern Life

Our journey revealed a critical need for a modern, systematic approach to spiritual cultivation.

🌿 Traditional Approach🌸 GeniusHub’s Systematic Approach
❌ 🔗 Lack of System — Traditional settings often lack a clear, step-by-step training system for lay practitioners.✅ 💡 Systematic Training — We provide a clear, practical, and systematic method that ordinary people can easily learn and apply.
❌ 🌀 Mystified Communication — Spiritual communication is often avoided as “superstition” or framed as the “supernormal powers” of a few masters, making it inaccessible.✅ 🗣️ Effective Communication — We teach you how to achieve effective, direct communication with the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Divine Beings, empowering you to verify the truth and gain confidence.
❌ 🕯️ Focus on Ritual — Emphasis can be placed on external formality and ritualistic appearance.✅️ ❤️ Focus on Sincerity — We emphasize sincerity over ritual formality and inner alignment over external appearance (知行合一).

We embrace a flexible approach called 碎片化修行 (fragment-based cultivation) — ideal for busy lives. Our method supports: 

Practice anytime, anywhere

Sincerity over ritual formality

Inner alignment over external appearance

Integration of thought and action (知行合一)

“Our practice, which has endured a spiritual test of life-and-death, validates this ancient prophecy.”

The Buddha once clearly stated that in the Dharma-Ending Age, the continuation of the Dharma would rely heavily on the Lay Practitioners (居士). Our practice, which has endured a spiritual test of life-and-death, validates this ancient prophecy. We are here to empower you to cultivate deeply, build unshakeable faith, and achieve genuine peace and liberation. 

Modern Research & Ancient Wisdom: The Science of Peace

Our practices, rooted in ancient Buddhist wisdom, are confirmed by modern neuroscience to bring profound spiritual and psychological benefits: 1. Stress Reduction, 2. Emotional Resilience, 3. Enhanced Well-being, 4. Mindfulness Benefits.
Our practices, rooted in ancient Buddhist wisdom, are confirmed by modern neuroscience to bring profound spiritual and psychological benefits. We bridge the gap between sacred tradition and empirical evidence, providing a holistic path to healing for all individuals seeking peace and clarity.
The core elements of our rituals—chanting, mindfulness, and devotional practices—are now extensively studied in the fields of neurotheology and cognitive science:
  • Neuroscience of Chanting: Repetitive sacred chanting, such as the Pure Land practice of reciting Amitabha Buddha’s name, has been shown to induce significant changes in brain activity, often paralleling the effects of deep meditation. Brain imaging studies suggest that chanting actively quiets activity in the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), the brain regions primarily associated with fear, emotional reactivity, and rumination. This process promotes exceptional emotional regulation, reduces cognitive load, and can lead to brainwave synchronization, which is linked to deep relaxation and a sense of profound well-being.

 

  • Psychology of Ritual: Devotional rituals and sincere practices are not merely symbolic; they are powerful psychological tools. Rituals, particularly those involving focused attention and repetitive action, are known to positively impact brain activity, reduce stress, and enhance emotional resilience. For the individual facing loss or chaos, the structured nature of the ritual provides a clear, actionable path during a time of difficulty, helping to transform overwhelming grief into a manageable, meaningful process of closure and spiritual connection.

 

  • Mindfulness and Resilience: The meditative and visualization components of our rituals directly align with the documented benefits of mindfulness-based practices. Research confirms that these practices improve emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and can even be associated with beneficial changes in brain structure and function.

By offering practices that are both spiritually authentic and rooted in time-honored Buddhist tradition, we provide a reliable path of guidance and healing that benefits all sentient beings, both the departed and the living, nurturing peace, understanding, and liberation.

Testimonial: The Transformative Power of Compassion

“My mother was consumed by grief after my father’s passing. No conventional method offered her solace; her spirit was visibly broken, and I feared she would never find peace again. But then, through the sacred teachings and compassionate guidance of the Eight Sufferings Liberation Program, a profound shift occurred.”

She didn’t just cope; she transformed. She rediscovered inner peace, found renewed hope, and today, her radiant smile is a testament to the liberation she experienced.

“This program truly brought her back to life. Her journey stands as powerful evidence of the transformative power of the compassionate principles that form the heart of all our Buddhist services. Just as these practices brought solace and liberation to her, they are designed to offer peace, healing, and spiritual transformation to all beings.”
