One-Day Chanting 'Nian Fo" Retreat
Meditation Practice through mindful chanting, prostrations and walking

Chan Buddhism teaches that “Chan” exists in all every day activities. In every moment, chanting the Buddha’s name  - ‘A’ ‘Mi’ ‘To’ ‘Fo’ - to replace our wandering thoughts, is an effective tool for managing our emotions. Through mindfully chanting the Buddha’s name with every cell in our body, we can experience the Prajna Samadhi (perfect wisdom and compassion), and further actualise the eternal true mind.

 念佛襌一
透過專注念佛，拜佛和經行体会禅修
唸佛，礼佛及经行也是一种禅修

佛教禅宗强调‘禅’就在日常生活中，行住坐卧，无不是禅。如果能用一句佛号，‘阿弥陀佛’来代替我们无时无刻窜出的妄念，这将是一种非常有效的禅修方法。 若我们能很专注的唸佛，我们可以达到一个禅定的境界，进而更能体悟我们的本性。
