노력은 너희들이 해야 하며 

깨달은 이들은 가르쳐줄 뿐이다. 

이 길을 따라서 명상하는 이들은 

마라의 속박에서 벗어난다.

명상법회

매주 토요일, 오전 10시 30분

명상은 마음의 집중과 바라봄을 통한 지혜의 완성을 목적으로 합니다. 마음의 집중은 고요함과 안정을 주며, 지혜의 개발은 스스로 삶의 문제를 해결 할 수 있는 힘을 개발합니다. 삶의 다양한 문제와 고통을 스스로 해결하기 위한 명상법회의 일정은 다음과 같습니다. 본 명상 프로그램은 영어로 진행을 합니다.

The Great Wisdom Heart Sutra 

Avalokiteshvara, the compassionate bodhisattva 

Deeply practicing Prajna Paramita, the perfection of wisdom, 

Understands the five aggregates are emptiness to overcome all suffering.

Sariputra! Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form.
Form is not different than emptiness. Emptiness is not different than form.
This is same for feeling, perception, mental formation and consciousness.

Sariputra! Emptiness of everything is no birth, no death, 

no cleanness, no uncleanness and no increase, no decrease.

Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, perception, 

mental formation, and consciousness,

No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind,
No form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental object,
No realm of eyes, and further to no realm of consciousness,
No ignorance and cessation of ignorance, 

Further to no aging-death, and cessation of aging-death, 

No suffering, the origin of suffering,
The cessation of suffering and the path to the cessation of suffering,
Even no wisdom and attainment of wisdom

As all Bodhisattvas rely on Prajna Paramita without attachment
there is no obstacle and fear in their minds.
They abandon all delusions to attain the ultimate Nirvāṇa.

All Buddhas rely on Prajna Paramita

to attain the supreme enlightenment.

Therefore, one must know Prajna Paramita is

The profound mantra, the brightest mantra, 

The utmost mantra, the peerless mantra

It ends all suffering that is true, is not untrue.

So proclaim the mantra of Prajna Paramita. 

The mantra says thus:

Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha! (Vow)

The Four Great Vows

  1. Numberless sentient beings, we vow to save them all. (Vow)
  2. Endless delusions, we vow to cut through them all.(Vow)
  3. The infinite teachings, we vow to learn them all.(Vow)
  4. The inconceivable path to Buddhahood, we vow to attain it to the end. (Vow)
