    Our Gratitude for the Teachings of Chan Master Sheng Yen

    Our late Master Sheng Yen, Shifu, once likened himself to a “blood vessel” for the Dharma, vowing to transmit the teachings of the Buddha and the great patriarchs through his own sharing. Many of us have indeed been deeply inspired and nourished by Master Sheng Yen’s guidance, leading us to study the Dharma and to persevere tirelessly on the path of practice. In commemoration of Master Sheng Yen’s passing, please join us for a “Passing on the Lamp” in-person one-day retreat where we will pick up our beginners’ mind again in meditation, expressing our gratitude towards Dharma and our teacher, and lighting up the compassion and wisdom mind within our self nature.

    聖嚴師父曾將自己比喻為佛法的輸血管,發願將佛陀和祖師大德的教法透過自己分享給人。相信我們很多人都深受聖嚴師父教澤的啟發和受用,進而學習佛法,並鍥而不捨地持續走在修行道上!為了深深感念這份恩德,邀請大眾藉由精進禪一的用功,重新提起初發心,以此感恩得以學習佛法,感恩得遇明師的教導,發願精進修行,發大悲心,行菩薩道,點亮自己和他人自性中本具的慈悲與智慧的光明心燈。
