Chan: a Life of Joy and Peace

What do you need to deal with pressure, competition, stress and frustration? What do you need to relax and maintain happiness, good health and well-being? What you need is a key to Chan wisdom, to learn how to live a life of joy and peace!

This lecture by the Abbot President of Dharma Drum Mountain Venerable Guo Dong will introduce concepts and methods of Chan (Zen) practice to help you explore your own spiritual growth, and cultivate your innate wisdom in daily life. Through easy to follow practices, learn how changing your way of thinking can bring happiness to yourself and others, and leads to a more joyful and peaceful life.

There are many ways to spend two hours – watch a movie, play sports, reflecting on the past. But how lasting can those benefits be? Your time could be better spent exploring a new direction in life. A new experience, a new perspective, awaits you!

The Taking Refuge & Precepts ceremony led by the Abbot President Venerable Guo Dong will take place following the lecture.
