啓動禪修學制
「無論現在我們在哪裡，在各自的緣起點上，不要忽略對宗大師教法的聞思修。因為這會讓我們的身心得到教法真實的利益──在心中捨惡、在心中生起慈悲。」
「我們這麼多的學員，一定要進入道次第的禪修課程。要教大家閉關──從四加行、親近善知識、到奢摩他怎麼修，然後菩提心。」
——真如老師
啓動居士學制
—— 禪修課程
“No matter where we are in the world, and where we stand in our lives and spiritual development, let us not lose sight of the study, reflection, and practice of Master Tsong-kha-pa's teachings, because this will bring us the true benefits of the Dharma ─ to rid our minds of non-virtue and develop our compassion.”
“With so many people in the Lamrim studies now, we will have to have a full meditation curriculum for the stages of the path, to teach everyone how to practice in spiritual retreat ─ everything from the four preliminary practices, to how to rely on one's spiritual teachers, to developing meditative serenity and bodhicitta.
── Our spiritual teacher, Zhen-Ru
A Vision
A Comprehensive Meditation Curriculum
圓成師父的未竟之業
因由師父──日常老和尚之願力加持，真如老師自接班後，辛勤引領僧俗學修佛法，匯聚逾千名僧尼於加拿大，清淨持戒、精勤聞思，如今五大論學制已卓然有成。
早在30多年前，師父曾應允沈家禎老居士之祈請，一心於紐約建立僧團之道場，然而未能如願以償。老師承師心願，為引領廣大善信趣向解脫，決意於美國紐約啟動建寺大業，並以禪修中心開創國際弘法新頁。
Our Late Master Jih-Chang’s Wish
Today, our Spiritual Teacher Zhen-Ru carries the legacy of our founding teacher, Late Venerable Master Jih-Chang. She diligently guides monastic and lay practitioners, including over a thousand monks and nuns in our Canadian monasteries, in the study and practice of the Buddha's teachings and ethical discipline. After over a decade of dedicated efforts, a full monastic curriculum of the Five Great Commentaries ─ a traditional curriculum based on five major teachings of historical Buddhist masters of India – has taken shape in our monasteries and now continues to grow.
Over thirty years ago, our Late Master Jih-Chang had accepted the lay Buddhist Dr. Chia Theng Shen's invitation to establish a Buddhist monastery in New York, but his wish was yet to be fulfilled. Now, our Spiritual Teacher Zhen-Ru is initiating the establishment of the new monastery in New York as a continuation of our Late Master's wish; as well as a new meditation center as the start of a new phase in the promotion of Dharma internationally.
值此時大因緣，至誠邀請您一同參與紐約國際弘法事業，厚植自他福田，為未來僧俗學制，建構不凡之願景！
On this auspicious and momentous occasion, we sincerely invite you to help us by contributing to the new Dharma centers. Together, let us plant the seeds of happiness and enlightenment for ourselves and others, and for the greater future of monastic and lay Buddhist education.
