When we put others at the center of our lives, we are growing the enlightened heart (bodhichitta) and people around us can feel it and benefit from it, sharing happiness is this simple.

五台山普壽寺主持夢參老和尚:-

今天有個小道友,勞動的,她突然間看到我,看看左右沒有人,她才問我幾句話,不然她不敢問。

她看沒有人了,她問我,她說:老法師啊!我想修禪怎麼入定啊?

我說:妳在幹什麼?
她說:在勞動呢!
我說:在入定!

1. 覺與念的差異為何?覺與猜的差異為何?覺與直覺的差異為何?思不能覺,那麼,參禪與覺有何種關係?絕思為覺嗎??覺後無思嗎?何為覺?? 2. 如何分辨獨頭意識與覺?? 3. 覺是否要靠他力?透過禮佛的覺醒是自力還是他力?第六感是覺嗎??何為自覺? 4. 五蘊無常念無常,行無常故緣無常?心體為空不為空??緣覺非空覺為空??離我法二執為真如,無我無法覺為何?? 5. 心為何?是否與覺一起作用?

"Emptiness is not a property...it is mere medicine, a means of escape from all fixed convictions. It is taught so that we may overcome attachment, & it would be a pity if we were to become attached to it;"

拒喝瓶裝水 帶水正流行

選舉熱潮近了,一箱箱瓶裝水幾乎和喇叭、汽笛一樣,是競選熱場拚人氣的重要配備。大街上、會議室,人手一瓶方便的瓶裝水,已成台灣人解渴的習慣答案。

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood?

As far as I have understood from the kind explanations of some members, the adepts of the Huayen Buddhist Community practice both Chan and Tantric(Tang Tantra) meditation. I would like to ask as well whether they also practice Jingtu(Pure Land) practices, as for example Nien Fo(Nembutsu), since as far as I know these practices are very popular in Chinese Buddhist Communities(as well as in Korea and Vietnam)

 

Dear brothers and sisters in Dharma,

Some time ago I have decided to be Buddhist, so now I am investigating various Buddhist schools and has become very interested when quita accidentally I came opon your www site.

Sue from Ohio left Toronto yesterday after a 12-day visit.

It was very nice of her to come all the way from Ohio and participated in
our Toronto activities. She gave us great support in sponsoring our
journal, joining our membership and suggesting ways we could improve our
programs.

It is fellowship like this that warms up our hearts and brighten our lives.

Thanks Sue...

Love from the Toronto Chapter.
