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.

Website: INTERNATIONAL CH'AN BUDDHISM INSTITUTE

The ICBI has been established to serve as a collective organisation to bring the many different lineages of Ch’an, Zen, Son, and Thien together in peace and friendship, as well as all other interested parties. It is a sacred space where all traditions can meet on an equal standing and facilitate the spread of education. In this way the lineages will be preserved and the purpose of the Buddha’s enlightened strengthened. All are welcome and the ICBI is currently accepting applications for membership.

Enquiries: shidadao@mailforce.net

The ICBI is an Institute Member of the World Buddhism Association.

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.
