We have been leading a Chan practice session with pro-fessors and students of the 2019 Winter School every evening.Chan practice allows us to rediscover our space of mind.
We must be mindful of thoughts in daily life, at all times.
Besides the contemplation on suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and egolessness, we must cultivate an altruistic intention towards people, animals, even tables and chairs.
Life is too short, impermanent, and transient. We should optimize it to accumulate meritorious conditions and wisdom.
Tonight, I reminded the students about the Buddhadharma that we’ve learned. It has been passed down from Buddha Shakyamuni for over 2500 years.
We attended the 5th World Meditation Congress (DMZ 세계평화명상대전) in Gangwon-do by the invitation of the Ven. Master Gaksan, Director of Chambulseonwon (참불선원).
