Licchavi Vimalakirti came to the foot of that tree and said to me, ’Reverend Sariputra, this is not the way to absorb yourself in contemplation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation so that neither body nor mind appear anywhere in the triple world. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest all ordinary behavior without forsaking cessation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest the nature of an ordinary person without abandoning your cultivated spiritual nature.

ASK A MONK
« Thread Started on Dec 8, 2006, 1:49pm »

This facility is linked to Venerable Shih Ying-Fa's website. The practitioner asks a question via a short email form, and then awaits a reply, at the convenience of the monk. The questions should be well thought out, clear and respectful:

Please bear in-mind, that from time to time, the monks enter periods of secluded training, where they re-charge their spiritual energy. At such times, the above facility will be temporarily suspended.

And for the sake of balance, if you would prefer an answer from a Theravada monk, please visit;

Thank you.

In striving to perform one's religious duty, the first thing is to observe the rules of discipline. For discipline is the fundamental of the Supreme Bodhi; discipline begets immutability abd immutability begets wisdom. Master Xu Yun. Click Here To Make This Board Ad-Free
