Thousands
of years ago, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
He realized that all sentient beings possess inherent Buddha nature
with the potential to achieve ultimate freedom, eternal peace and
perfect enlightenment but for their attachments and delusions.
Cha'n,
widely known as Zen in the West, is directly seeing one's true mind,
which is the mind of the Buddha. At Buddha Mind Monastery, one
learns Buddha's teachings and meditation methods to experience Cha'n.
Buddha Mind Monastery, located in OKC, Oklahoma, is one of the first
five meditation centers in the United States affiliated to Chung Tai
Cha'n Monastery (CTCM). CTCM was founded by Grand Master Wei-Chueh,
an heir of the Linji (Rinzai) lineage and considered one of the
greatest living Chinese Cha'n Masters.
The mission of Buddha Mind Monastery is to teach the truths of Buddhism
and lead all sentient beings to the attainment of buddhahood through the
practice of Cha'n meditation. All classes are taught by Dharma
Master Jian Mao, abbess of Buddha Mind Monastery, who has studied under
Grand Master Wei-Chueh at CTCM in Taiwan for many years.
Buddha Mind Monastery offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced
buddhism classes and meditation sessions throughout the year. All
classes are free of charge and open to the public. Come and
experience Cha'n with us! |
