Living a Simple Life

Master Shengyan (1931~2009)  A founder of Dharma Drum Mountain

Welcoming the Unwelcome

In 1995, Thich Nhat Hanh went to Taipei Nung Chan Monastery to visit Master Shengyan.

Sometime,  somewhere,  life is going on, and on.

Grow in harmony; strive in hope.

 If you can't be of help, at the very least, don't cause harm.

Clearly see that everything in the world is impermanent, and you can realize the inner world of true peace. 

What you offer repays what you have been given; when you repent, you strengthen your self-discipline.

Look at life and be filled with limitless hope. Look at death and be prepared at any time.

Be clear about what is necessary for you to have. Untangle yourself from wants driven by desire.

Let go, or be dragged
