Live a life of ease and freedom, on the basis of peace and solidity, with the principle of being less agitated and affected.
Many masters in the history of Chinese Chan Buddhism emphasized practice as daily living. Whether monastic or lay, a follower uses the concepts and methods of Chan in daily life. By doing so, one experiences calmness and ease while being spontaneous and lively amidst mundane reality. Chan is not a religion, not a philosophy, and surely not mysterious or weird sorcery. It is the wisdom of living, the cultivation of body and mind, and a principle and guideline for spiritual development. It is also the best method for influencing and purifying the environment.--Master Sheng Yen

Chan is not necessarily any one thing, nor does Chan affirm or deny anything. However, whatever you need, Chan gives to you.
For regular meditators, this book provides basic sitting meditation techniques. Exceptionally busy people are advised to try and use the Chan cultivation methods in this book to harmonize themselves, and dissolve their attachment to "self." From relaxing the body and mind for as little as three minutes to attending to body and mind throughout daily life, these methods show the simplicity and practicality of expedient Chan methods.--Master Sheng Yen

This is the second volume of proceedings of the ?gama seminars convened by the ?gama Research Group at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (formerly Dharma Drum Buddhist College). On this occasion, the ?gama Research Group met to discuss the early collections of long discourses transmitted by the different Buddhist schools. Thanks to the discovery and ongoing publication of the incomplete Sanskrit D?rgha-?gama manuscript from Gilgit, three different versions of the Collection of Long Discourses are now available for comparative study: the Pali D?gha-nik?ya transmitted within the Therav?da tradition, the just-mentioned D?rgha-?gama in Sanskrit, identified as Sarv?stiv?da or M?lasarv?stiv?da, and the Chinese translation of an Indic D?rgha-?gama (長阿含經), generally considered to be affiliated with the Dharmaguptakas. The six papers collected here focus on research on these various incarnations of the collections of long discourses in comparative perspective.
