Shaolin Chan City || Chan Lectures
The Chan (zen) philosophy program at Shaolin Chan City extends throughout the entire training course, as Shaolin Wugong is taken as a form of action meditation. All aspects of training are therefore Chan training.
Another very important practice is in the form of group discussion and investigation of Chan. SCC regularly holds lecture series on various Chan texts, Sutras, or related discussion topics.
These discussions or lecture series are mostly informal and last various periods of time, even months, depending on the topic and audience engagement in question & answer sessions. Students are encouraged to challenge the topic and engage themselves in the investigation of their true nature.
Free & Open to the public.
Meeting time: Fridays 7-8pm during the course of any lecture series.
The next lecture series organized by the center Shaolin Chan City.
The Diamond Sutra
Chinese: Jīngāngjīng 金刚经
Sanskrit: Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra
A multipart lecture series commencing on January 14th, 2011.
The world's earliest dated printed book is a copy of the Diamond Sutra. The Diamond Sutra is an essential text for the Chan (zen) student. Its main topic is the emptiness of all things, the emptiness of ego, the emptiness of self & other, and therefore even the emptiness of charity. Through this teaching one may uncover their inherent wisdom in everyday life, develop harmonious relationships, and learn the most meritorious form of charity, thereby functioning to aid all beings to find their true nature within and become totally free.
