What’s your true self ? What’s the meaning of life ?

Buddhism has shaped the culture in many northern Asian countries, including architecture, philosophy, music, tea etc…..

Chan * Sudden Approach Teaching is simple. Not only it is related and strictly connected to the original teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha , but it is also the most direct and profound principle of Buddhadharma. Essentially the heart of Buddhism.

 

This is the special transmission ” Mind to Mind ” ” Buddha to Buddha”, “ Ultimately Great Enlightened Teacher to The Ultimately Great Enlightened Student “, independent of words or doctrines, yet rooted in the Teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is the formless and sudden approach that point directly to the mind and enables people to realize their inherent Buddha-Nature and to straightforward ascent to Buddhahood. This practice also emphasizes the practice in daily life, no only in the meditation hall, but in all daily activities and situations.

The Buddha just after His Complete Equal and Perfect Enlightenment said: “How wonderful, all sentient beings are endowed with the wisdom and compassion as all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but because they are confused (have a self centered mind ,a mind of attachments and discriminations) they cannot realize that !”

So it’s quite clear that all humans are inherently complete and perfect from birth, thus, after dissolving the self centered mind with attachments and discriminations, their inherent Buddha-Nature will appear clearly just in front of their eyes. They will be able to realize that never has there been any real problem, they will be perfectly at ease forever, and they will be like a Buddha.

By applying the Proper Chan Sudden Approach Principles and taking advantage of the guidance of an experienced master, we all have the possibility to leave behind all the illusions and become enlightened. All is done here and in this very life, in the middle of daily activities, completely at ease, completely liberated without any hindrances; once understood the “ True Self “, the meaning of life will be very clear! Then using the inherent wisdom it will be natural and spontaneous to help all sentient beings!

We hope numerous people will come to learn how to apply this teaching.
