In the hustle and bustle of modern day life, although people enjoy a rich material life, we often ignore the importance of spiritual growth.  Faced with the pressure of daily living, schooling, career, intimate relationships, marriage, friendship, peers, parent-child relations, children's schoolwork and extracurricular activities, societal expectations, etc., people often feel overwhelmed, at a loss and powerless. It can feel like they don’t know life anymore: what are the goals and values?

​

We provide a variety of practical spiritual growth classes, learning from the sages, and lectures on classic Chinese culture; including Xinmin class, Zhishan class, Peide class, Xingde class and Chongde class.

 

Various pieces of classical literature are incorporated in these five years: The Analects, Mencius, The Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, Heart Sutra, The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, Diamond Sutra, Lotus Sutra and many other holy scriptures. These are supplemented with sessions on topics such as Creating A Happy and Fulfilling Life, Healthy Vegetarian Living, Parenting, Living and Maintaining a Healthy Life, Cultivating Oneself and Family, Communication Skills, Bright Wisdom and Enhancing Magnanimity, etc..

​

The edification of Saints and Buddhas’ philosophy and learning the spirit of kindness, compassion, joy, and giving can nourish the soul, enhance wisdom, rectify faults and tempers, and establish proper values and life goals. These will help us to have a broadened vision, a happy family, harmonious interpersonal relationships, a broader life perspective and meaningful life.
