Meet the Ascended Master Lord Lanto

A study of the lifetimes of the ascended masters helps us to understand what is required for true self-mastery. Ascended masters once walked the earth the same as we do and had lifetimes in which they perfected various soul and character qualities.

One of the more well-known lifetimes of the ascended master Lord Lanto is that of The Duke of Chou of China. As an ascended master, the Duke of Chou is known as Lord Lanto, the chohan or lord of the second ray of God's wisdom. Lord Lanto is the sponsor of all forms of education and those who seek both wisdom and knowledge.

The Duke of Chou (twelfth century B.C.) was a legendary figure whose life has become almost mythological. However, a few accounts of his personal life and achievements remain. The Duke of Chou is credited with the writing of the I Ching and with the founding a new form of classical Chinese music. Some historians also believe he was instrumental in the founding of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, he was involved in the invention of the calendar and forms of martial arts that are beneficial for health as well as self-defense. His wife, Luo Zu, is said to have taught the Chinese to weave silk from the cocoon of domesticated silkworms.

The Duke of Chou is regarded as one of the greatest statesmen in Chinese history. Also known as the Yellow Emperor, he is considered to

be the architect of the Chou dynasty and the true founder of the Confucian tradition. Confucius looked at the Duke as his model. Confucius believed it was his mission to reestablish the principles and culture of the early Chou era, considered to be a golden age.
The Duke of Chou is said to have lived to be 100 years old. Of his 25 children, 14 were boys. All of the noble families of the first three dynasties of China are reputed to have been descendants of these sons. When the Duke's long life was over, he arranged his affairs with his ministers and prepared for his journey to heaven. Some Chinese believed that he flew to the heavens on the back of a dragon and became an immortal.
