A word about our Zen meditation practice...
A regular meditation practitioner once said, "I like this place because it provides a simple and neat environment for people to practice together. This is very rare is Singapore. There is nobody taking attendance, nobody telling you to do this or that. Your personality and dignity are respected. I have benefited a lot from meditation practice."
We welcome anybody to come and practice meditation with us. Zen Master Seung Sahn's teaching is "Don't check. Just do it." So, when we sit, we just sit. There is no checking of the way you sit, or how you think; not even your religious faith. Indeed, people of other religious faith frequently come to practice with us, and they feel very comfortable about it. In Zen meditation, any religious faith is no problem; only "practice to understand yourself."
So, if you like to practice in a group in a simple and peaceful environment, then come any
Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday night
. There will always be somebody around.
You are not alone.
有关我们的禅修...
一位禅修者曾说:“我喜欢这里,因为这里提供一个简单和整洁的场所,让大家一起坐禅。在新加坡这是很罕见的。 没有人点名,没有人告诉你做这个或那个。你的个性和尊严获得尊重。坐禅对我的帮助很大。”
我们欢迎任何人来一起坐禅。崇山禅师的教导是:“不要审查。只是去做。”所以,我们坐禅时,只是坐禅。 没有人审查你如何坐,或你的想法,或你的宗教信仰。的确,常有其他宗教信仰的人士来跟我们一起坐禅。 他们觉得很自在。于禅修而言,任何宗教信仰都无妨,只是“禅修以了解自己。”
如果你喜欢在一个简单而平和的场所,跟大家一起共修,那么,就在任何一个
星期二、四、六晚上
来吧。 总有人在这里。
你并不孤独
