In Buddhism
we are studying ourselves and the inner nature of our minds. Buddhism teaches us how to live life,
integrate our minds and keep ourselves peaceful and happy.
All illness
has its origins in the mind. Our thoughts
create actions and our actions have natural outcomes. Negative actions and thoughts have negative
outcomes and affect the subtle body.
These effects are then at some time experienced in the outer body as
pain or sickness.
When our minds are calm we are able to begin to
resolve the negative Karma in the subtle body
and bring healing to the outer body. Our bodies
and minds are interdependent. We are a total interdependent system in
conjunction with our entire environment and nature. We do not live in isolation. This is expressed in the Principal of the
Five Foundations ie Spirit, Mind, Relationship, Consumption and Movement. These Five govern our entire life. When one of these foundations is weak we will
experience disharmony. When the Five Foundations
are in balance we begin to experience almost immediate well-being.
“Chinese Buddhism has a rich history or
relationship with Taoism and Chinese medical arts and Confucianism. The Five
Foundations evolve from this relationship. They are what I call the Five
Guidelines to happiness and well-being.
They are simple but they are powerful.” Zhi Sheng

The Daily Program
The day begins early
in the misty morning with tranquil chanting and meditation. After a simple
breakfast Qigong is practiced to restore balance and vital energy. During the
day participants will typically spend either group or individual time with
Master Zhi Sheng for healing work then have time for personal practice. Work around the temple provides practical
earthy experience in cleaning sweeping and other chores.
The Tai Shen Method developed by Master Zhi
Sheng is interwoven throughout the entire day and rapidly restores health and
inner harmony.
The evening concludes
with Naikan meditation and brief chanting.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese Buddhism has had a long association with Traditional Chinese Healing Arts in China. Dr Cao Fang Yuen of the Fu Yuan hospital is a highly regarded, compassionate and energetic doctor from a lineage of Traditional Chinese Medical doctors in his family. Dr Yuen provides treatment in herbal medicine, Acupuncture and Tui Na (Massage). This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in harmony with meditation and Dharma.
Going Home
Before leaving Guang
Jue Temple participants receive their own personal program to follow up once
they have returned home as peace, harmony and healing is a life-long practice.
Recently the Venerable
Master Zheng Rong observed: “People come
here sick are touched by the Buddha Dharma and return well. The Medicine Buddha
has smiled.”
