Zen Buddhism teaches people how to attain inner peace and wisdom
within us by probing into our minds and understanding our afflictions. II. B. C.

Dharma Jewel Monastery (at 2550 Henderson Mill Rd. Atlanta) is an overseas branch of Chung Tai Chan Monastery. It is a half mile from Northlake Mall. Dharma Jewel Monastery invites you to all of our events. We welcome all of you who are seeking peace and true happiness. Half-day meditation retreats and Buddhist ceremonies are offered each month. Zen Buddhism teaches people how to attain inner peac

e and uncover the inherent wisdom within all of us. By probing into our minds and understanding that our afflictions are caused by our own greed, anger, and ignorance, we can attain unbiased perception of reality and true inner peace. THE CHUNG TAI TRADITION

A. Three Links of Cultivation -- A Principle for Complete Spiritual Practice

I. Beneficence - performing good deeds and services to the monastery and to the public. Sutra Studies - studying the Sutras (Buddhist Scriptures) establishes right views and insight. III.Meditation - calms, clears, and awakens the mind. The Four Tenets of Chung Tai -- Concrete Guidelines to Practice the Dharma

The profound Chan (Zen) teachings are intimately tied to daily living. The four tenets of Chung Tai are concrete guidelines for practicing Buddhism in daily life:
To our elders be respectful: respect subdues arrogance
To our juniors be kind: kindness dispels anger
With all humanity be harmonious: harmony overcomes rudeness and violence
In all endeavors be true: truthfulness eradicates deceit. The Five Modern Approaches of Propagating Buddhism

It is crucial to preserve the essence of the Buddhist teaching while adapting it to changing environments and modern societies. The Grand Master emphasizes the importance of making connections with the following areas:

1. Buddhism in Academic Research
2. Buddhism in Education
3. Buddhism in Culture and the Arts
4. Buddhism in Science
5. Buddhism in Daily Living. These five approaches adapt to the needs and interests of various people and cultures, open many doors for the discovery of the benefits of Buddhism and lead to the attainment of true liberation.

大願是由大慈悲心所生，我們有了大慈悲心，無形中自然能發起大願，自然能落實行持。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

Great vows arise out of great compassion. When we possess great compassion, we will naturally generate great vows and carry them out in our daily practice. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

堅住正念，把這個心落實下來，靜中養成，動中磨鍊，時時刻刻不離本心。這念心要無住，要清楚明白、要作主、覺性要存在，這就是菩提心。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

Firmly abide in right mindfulness and constantly apply this very mind. Cultivate this in stillness, and temper it in action. We should never stray from original mind at any moment. Our minds must abide in nothing whatsoever, maintaining clarity, self-mastery, and intrinsic awareness always present. This is the bodhi mind. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

我們上求佛道，就是要以佛作為最高的標準，向佛學習，學佛的心、學佛的口、學佛的身，朝這個方向去努力。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

To seek the Buddha Way above means to have the Buddha as our highest standard and strive to learn from his mind, speech, and actions towards perfection. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

想要富貴，就要在這念心當中來安住，這念心一念不生，裡面就有無量的寶貝，智慧、神通、功德無窮盡，真正是大富大貴。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

To attain wealth and eminence, we should abide by the nature of this very mind in no-thought. When the mind is free from raising thoughts, boundless treasures lie within: wisdom, miraculous powers, and countless merits. This is true abundance and prosperity. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

這念靈知靈覺的心性，能生一切智慧、妙用：一切言說、動作，都是我們本具心性的作用。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

Our mind-nature of inherent knowing and intrinsic awareness can give rise to all wisdom and marvelous abilities. All speech and actions stem from the function of our intrinsic mind-nature. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

六度當中的精進度，是用來對治我們的懈怠，所以做什麼事情都要精進：進一步要了解，在身口意上的精進是有為，修行最後要由有為歸於無為，由有為法的精進，進而不執著、一念不生，達到無為法的精進，就是真正的精進。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

Of the six paramitas, diligence paramita is to counteract our indolence. Therefore, we must be diligent in everything we do. Furthermore, we should understand that diligence in body, speech, and mind is conditional, and our cultivation must ultimately go from conditioned to unconditioned, from diligence in conditioned dharmas to diligence in the unconditioned dharma. When we achieve the diligence of no-attachment and no-thought, that is true diligence. --- Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh

《金剛經》云：「一切賢聖皆以無為法而有差別。」無為法就是師父說法，諸位聽法這念心，不想過去、不想現在、不想未來。修了善法不執著善法，做了功德不執著功德，這念心了了分明、清清楚楚、明明白白，就是真正契悟了菩提心。——惟覺安公老和尚法語

The Diamond Sutra says, "All the saints and sages are distinguished by the unconditioned dharma." The unconditioned dharma is that this very mind, the one that Shifu is speaking the Dharma with and everyone is listening to the Dharma with, does not think about the past, present or future. When we cultivate wholesome dharmas and create merits without attaching to them; when this very mind is always clear, lucid, and as it is, that is to truly realize the bodhi mind. ---Words of Wisdom from Grand Master Weichueh
