Guiding Principle

"The Dharma is so good, yet so few people know about it and so many people misunderstand it."

We are practitioners who are interested in learning the nature of Buddha's teachings and the Chan way of life. We are also followers of the founder, Venerable Master Sheng-Yen (1930 – 2009).

Venerable Master Sheng Yen's teachings provide rich grounds upon which we can cultivate an uplifting vision and philosophy in our own lives. Click below to learn more about the meaning and value of life, from a uniquely Chan perspective:
