Dear Dharma friends,

I have the privilege and honour to follow His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa and Shamarpa's guidance, and became a Buddhist monk in Bodhgaya in 2007. Subsequently I was given the task to set up and run the Bodhipath Buddhist center in Taichung in 2008, the aim of the center is to spread Buddha dharma teaching, learning the bodhisattva way by adopting the Bodhisattva's attitude, develop wisdom and practice to experience a clear and unobstructed nature of mind.

I have also started producing TV programs about Dharma teaching on Taiwan Dharma TV station since 2012, the topics cover teaching of Karma Kagyu lineage, Bodhicitta and other Dharma knowledge.


In 2013 I was assigned to be responsible for Dharma practice and teaching by Karmapa and Shamarpa in our new monastery in Hualian, Taiwan; from 2014 regular puja and events will be organised in both monasteries in Hualian and Taichung, including regular Nyongye practice (thousand arm chenrezig fasting program) White Tara Retreat as well as other retreat programs in the pipeline.


With pleasure I am producing these DVDs for distribution and sharing, I would appreciate any comment or feedback you might have for future improvement. In this trouble time we are most fortunate this auspicious teaching come to light, may the precious teachings radiate and flourish, may we bring forth our full effort together to work for a better future.

41.《生死事大~1》 "Life and Death - Part I"

一般人面臨危險急難時,總是立即想要保命逃生,不論你文章武功蓋世,功名赫赫皆是如此。在過去,有一天,我和一位太極拳的師傅學站樁,這位師傅花了至少三十年的光景練太極,全身是膽,充滿精氣,只要被他一撥,就會彈飛出去;正在練時,忽然地震,在台灣地震乃常事,大家不太理會,但地震愈搖愈大,我們在騎樓下,我念著佛,地震稍緩,但突然又來一下,拳師傅突然捉著我的手,像個受驚的小孩,我們迅速跑到空地,看著那棟「堅固的房子」搖來搖去,所幸沒倒,街道充滿了驚恐人們。


When most people face danger and emergency situation, they immediately want to escape in order to protect their lives regardless of their ability in composing great writings, in martial arts or in reputation. In the past, one day, I learned the standing qigong from Tai Chi Master Zhan Zhuang. This master spent at least thirty years in practicing Tai Chi. His mind is courageous, full of energy, as long as he gently pushed a person, the person would go flying out of range. When we were practicing, a earthquake started suddenly. Earthquakes are quite common occurrence in Taiwan, we do not really mind. But the shaking gradually increased, we stayed under an arcade as I chanted mantra. After some time the shaking slowed down, but suddenly a strong jolt, the Tai Chi master unexpectedly graped my hand like a frightened child, we both quickly ran to the nearest open field and witnessed a so-called "strong house" swayed from side to side. Fortunately, the house did not fall and the streets were filled with fearful people.
