What is Chan (Zen)?
- Chan (Zen) is the mind of straightforwardness.
- Chan (Zen) is the ordinary mind of non-abiding awareness.
- Chan (Zen) is “the pure mind manifests with no-abiding in anything.”
- Chan (Zen) is the inner emancipation and freedom.
- Chan (Zen) is the true reality of life, all things and the universe.
- Chan (Zen) is the great wisdom of no-self and the great compassion of no-abiding.
Have you ever thought about the true reality of life and the universe? The founder of Patriarch/Matriarch Chan (Zen), Sixth Patriarch Huineng, said that our self-nature is intrinsically self-sufficient, non-arising and non-perishing, and able to manifest all things. Why is this not apparent to us? We address the realization of this true reality when we investigate Chan (Zen).
This 7-day Chan (Zen) Retreat is an inward investigative journey, a quest to know more about ourselves in order to discover our “true self” and manifest our inherent “wisdom of no-self and compassion of no-abiding.” Within the 7-day Retreat, you will train your mind with “non-abiding awareness of genuine wisdom” in daily activities including walking, standing, sitting, reclining, etc.. Once you see into the self-nature, you are able to live a life of true peace, harmony, altruism and happiness.
