成立經過

真佛網路（True Buddha School Net）成立於西元1995年，首先成立的是英文版（英文網），後來又成立此中文版（中文網）。目前由宗務委員會帶領著一群熱心幫忙之義工，並在師尊　蓮生活佛的認可下，繼續推展、建置。

真佛網路由最先開始的設備不足、人力缺乏、資料不全，一直到現在內容豐富、閱讀性高及瀏覽人數眾多，其中經歷了許多辛苦的過程，佛菩薩加持，終於在所有義工們的努力下，有相當不錯的成績。然而好還要更好，故在2001年三、四月份，開始計劃網站改版，藉由軟、硬體設備之提昇，在西元2002年1月1日正式將新版之真佛網路上線，取代舊版之真佛網路，期能吸引更多的人來真佛網路學習真佛密法，並讓大家有更好、更方便、更清淅、更簡單及更迅速之閱覽效果。

成立宗旨

一、推廣真佛密法

真佛密法是由真佛宗創辦人　蓮生活佛在修行得證後，所教示之修行儀軌。其中「真佛經」更是　蓮生活佛修行得證時，自心流露所得之經典。　蓮生活佛開示：「眾生皆有佛性。」所以我們只要遵循　蓮生活佛所教導的修行步驟與儀軌來修行，就能修行成佛。有這樣殊勝的法典與儀軌，真佛網路當然要讓大家知道，鼓勵大家來學佛修行，明心見性。

二、教化人心、提昇個人精神層次

蓮生活佛開示：「修行就是在修自己的心。」真佛網路內容豐富，　蓮生活佛及真佛宗上師們的文章與開示，字字珠璣，舌燦蓮花，讓人如沐春風，心曠神怡，在在引導人心向善，做一個堂堂正正的人。還鼓勵眾生發心，教導眾生學佛修行，提昇個人之精神層次與修行境界，進而得到永恆的真理。

三、提供真佛宗各類資訊

真佛網路提供了許多有關真佛宗的各類活動訊息與新聞，給網友參考，讓所有想一同來參與活動或幫忙法務的人，有一個方便的聯絡管道，並藉由新聞的發佈，得知活動或法務工作進行的過程與成果。
