In yesterday’s class with Venerable XianPu, we reflected on who created the universe and discussed how gradually increasing the speed of Emituofo recitation strengthens focus.
Each session begins with gentle sharing, guidance on posture and technique for newcomers, and a supportive space to talk about what’s on your mind.
We then recite Amitabha’s name and settle into silent sitting, helping the mind become clearer and more steady.

In this new Dharma Glimpse, we explore the teaching of the six paths —six directions of rebirth shaped by the karma we create every day.
The three most painful paths arise from the poisons we all know: anger, greed, and ignorance. They appear quietly in our lives, yet they shape our future moment by moment.
Seeing them clearly is not a threat, but a doorway to freedom. When we soften anger, loosen greed, or awaken from confusion, we begin walking toward brighter and more compassionate paths.
🌱 What is more difficult to control: anger or greed? How would you like to transform it?

This week’s teaching reminds us of something simple yet profound:
harm arises when we believe anything is justified as long as we get what we want.
The Buddha taught that observing the people we choose —and the friends our children choose—
reveals the direction of our heart.
Sometimes wisdom begins with seeing clearly who we walk with.
What does this reflection teach you about harm and the company we keep?

Last Sunday, we gathered at the temple to celebrate Medicine Master Buddha’s Birthday.
We recited the 88 Buddhas Repentance Ceremony, dedicating all merit to all living beings.
A quiet moment where the heart felt as if it could grow—gently, steadily—into greater compassion.

After the ceremony, Master YongHua offered a Dharma Talk:
Compassion is not an idea. It is the courage to truly feel with another being.

What does compassion teach you in difficult moments?

"The moment you become enlightened, you can see your Buddha Nature, the Truth. To understand, you simply need to uncover your true innate abilities. Nothing new is acquired from the outside! That is why it is called inherent wisdom."

Wisdom is not imported — it is uncovered. This teaching is explained in the Chan Handbook II by Master YongHua – Link: https://a.co/d/9fIeifa

In yesterday’s class, Venerable XianPu explained the difference between Chan meditation and HuaTou practice, guiding us with clarity and kindness.
She reminded us of the importance of having a Good Knowing Advisor to deepen our progress.
Together, we shared our worries, received support, recited Amitabha’s name, and settled into quiet stillness.

Join us every Thursday at 12 pm PST / 9 pm CEST to cultivate concentration, community, and meaning.
