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.

              ～～讓臨死的生命重生～～



　　法會結束後與友人於星期天赴大坑山區放生麻雀、斑鳩，放生有一種很特殊的內心震撼，因為關在樊籠中的一切生命，不論是鳥或魚，甚至是人都對未來充滿著恐懼，不管是被殺害或繼續的被囚禁，身心均遭受到極大的苦痛，一旦有被釋放的機會時，內心的喜悅是很難形容的，死亡突然轉變成再生，劫後重生的經歷是令每一個生命珍愛與心動的，這種震撼的經驗不但影響自己，更能影響其他的同類，所以佛教十分提倡放生。我們甚至認為，放生可以減少有情眾生的怨恨，帶來這個世間的祥和氛圍。現今，雖然有些環保意識認為放生有時會影響生態等等，但正確的放生方法，的確在挽救生命存活的機率是極大的，也可能拯救生態。例如我們正在放生這些鳥之前，先幫牠們皈依與灑淨，這時突然有許多台中山區著名的小黑蚊「叮上」我們，當時我真不知是先放生好還是先殺生好？小黑蚊叮得奇癢，如果不是這些鳥販網羅這麼多鳥，小黑蚊也不至於那麼猖狂。但有些宗教人為了放生先向鳥販訂購大量的鳥，讓鳥販有足夠的時間去捕捉這些生命來賺錢，這除了讓商人們造業外也失去了放生的原有寶貴意義。　


　　眾生皆有佛性，放生前皈依等等，的確可以讓這些動物感受到一種重生的喜悅與宗教儀式聯結的心念，牠們一旦獲得了自由，自然將會把這種經驗分享給同類，當天空、河川、海洋、山嶽的廣闊讓牠們自由奔放時，這種影響便能十分深廣，尊重生命和善巧放生是值得提倡的！放生的鳥和魚或許我們再也看不到牠，但我郤不會忘記牠，牠當然也不會忘記我。這個感覺真好！
