Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei-Chueh
A Window Into Buddha Gate Flowers
A master once said, "The insentient beings lecture sentient beings." Can you hear the flora of Buddha Gate Monastery expounding the Dharma?-- "Walk through a flower field without a single leaf clinging on you." May ~ August Schedule 
Buddha Gate
is open daily, providing various classes and Dharma
events to help enlighten everyone. We currently
offer Chan (Zen) Buddhism & Meditation Classes,
Gratitude, Blessings & Memorial Ceremonies, One Day Meditation
Retreats, Grand Meal Offering Ceremonies, and One-hour Sunday Services, Flower Arranging Workshop One-Stick-of-Incense Meditation. We welcome everyone
to come and walk with us to the spiritual peak.
Bodhi Seed Kids' Meditation Class
Our
mind is like a bodhi seed. It develops differently depend on
different means of nurturing. Young children attend Buddha Gate
Bodhi Seed Kids' Meditation Classes and learn how to nurture their
bodhi seed through sharing, morality, tolerance, diligence,
concentration and wisdom. In the future, they will grow up like a
large tree, providing shade to benefit others.
The Moment of Enlightenment In
class today, we learned about the sage, Subuti. The abbess told
us a story about how Subuti realized the truth of "Empty Nature."
more Having the understanding of why we walk
a certain way or what the preparation is and means, gives me the
opportunity to help the people attending the ceremony. more We
weed out what needs to be eliminated, and we plant new attitudes, thoughts, speech, and actions that WILL enhance our personal
environment and that of the greater world. more
I realize
the only solution is to pursue the evil thoughts to their roots in the
mind and extricate them; then my mind will become pure and clear.
The first step is this process is to become aware of my faults.
