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.

'Shakyamuni Buddha was a prince who, upon seeing the suffering of the world,

abandoned his regal privilege to attain enlightenment and finally dedicate his

life to the pursuit of ceasing suffering not only for humanity, but for all creatures,

and the environment. This web site is committed to promoting the embodiment

of compassion and non violence. You can support non violence, peace, and

harmony by engaging in our message board discussion as well as

inviting our guest speakers to participate in your upcoming events. '

Om Mani Padme Hum

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 and immutability begets wisdom. Master Xu Yun.
