Rev. Heng Sure (恆實法師, Pinyin: Hengshi, birth name Christopher R.
Clowery; born October 31, 1949) is an American Buddhist monk, born
and ordained in the United States. He is a senior disciple of the
late Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, and is currently the director of
the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery, a branch monastery of the Dharma
Realm Buddhist Association. He is probably best known for a
pilgrimage he made for two years and six months from 1977-1979.
Called a three steps, one bow pilgrimage, Rev. Heng Sure and his
companion Heng Chau (Dr. Martin Verhoeven), bowed from South
Pasadena to Ukiah, California, a distance of 800 miles, seeking for
world peace.
Born in Toledo, Ohio, he attended DeVilbiss High School, Oakland
University, Rochester, Michigan, and later attended the University
of California at Berkeley from 1971-1976. During his time at the
university, Heng Sure was active in theatre. At an early age, Heng
Sure learned Chinese from studying the language in high school and
by means of his sister, who worked at the U.S. Information Agency.
After receiving his masters in Oriental languages, he met his
teacher, Master Hsuan Hua, who would later ordain him in 1976 at
the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, as "Heng Sure" a Dharma name
which means "Constantly Real."
Heng Sure currently gives lectures in Berkeley to the public and
through webcasts. Heng Sure also gives lectures in many parts of
the world on various subjects, such as the sutras and veganism. He
is also an accomplished musician and guitarist.
