BAUS is delighted to announce that a Dharma training section will be held on 7/18/2010, Sunday 1 pm @ Woo Ju Memorial Library.
For some time, Dharma friends have longed for a program for their children. BAUS hope to recruit people who are interested to teach Buddha Dharma to children, and to help establish a Children Dharma Class in Chuang Yen Monastery. Anyone who has one of the followings is welcomed to join 1. Withhold a teacher license 2. Has over than one year teaching experience 3. Has interests in learning Buddha Dharma
The Monastic Experience Retreat intends to provide an environment and community to allow those laities, who aspire to increase the merit of human and celestial beings, to experience the spirit of Six Harmonies in a sangha community and thus to plant the wholesome root of the supra mundane liberation. Participants must obey the eight precepts through the entire duration of the program so as to cultivate the growth of the merit of celestial beings.
The contents of this program contain not only an introduction to Dharma (the three studies of Sīla - Morality, Samādhi - Concentration and Paññā - Wisdom), guidance on meditation and monastic disciplines etc, but, for the purpose of coordinating with this monastery's program of "Kuan-Yin Bodhisattva's Enlightenment Ceremony", also discussions on the topic of the "compassion" in Buddhism.
Buddhist scripture is the core of Buddhism, the primary source of the Buddha Dharma. Today, Buddhists learn Buddhism from canons of different Buddhist traditions in different languages. This talk will familiarize the audience with the historical development of the extant Buddhist canons and the languages they used and compare their structures and contents in brief.
Mr. Teng is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University. He studied Theravāda Buddhism in Sri Lanka, and Sanskrit and Indian philosophy in India.

Before coming to study in U.S., Mr Teng taught Indian Buddhist schools at the Fuyan Buddhist Seminary, and several courses on Buddhism as a teaching fellow at Harvard University .
