For 2014, Than Hsiang Temple offers: 3-day retreat from 5 to 8 June 7-day retreat from 23 to 30 Nov Cheng Tian Si offers: 3 rounds of 7-day retreat from 18 Dec to 7 Jan During this period, you may go for a full 7-day retreat or any number of days, such as 3 days, 9 days, etc. If you wish to find out more, I will be most happy to answer your questions. Feel free to call at or Yap Ching Wi 叶静慧合十

人生最可贵, 因可成就佛道。 佛和历代祖师未成道前 也是从凡夫身修起。 我们可在佛七期修成往生的因缘。 如不能七天成就, 也要立下这一世往生, 最 少在临终往生。 Why Do We Attend Retreat? Most precious aspect of human life is the ability to realize Buddhahood Buddha himself did it and all great masters, one after another did it; so why can't we? We can cultivate the causes for rebirth in Pure Land in this retreat. If not in this retreat at least in this life. Or at least at the time we need it most - the time of death. (1) Learning at Than Hsiang Temple (Penang) - thanhsiang.org

Practice Road Map Foundation: Take refuge and observe the precepts well Observe 10 meritorious deeds Daily: Recite Amitabha sincerely and tirelessly Repent, dedicate merits & make aspirations Spiritual Growth: Foundation  develop Renunciation 出离心  develop Bodhichitta 菩提心 (2) Learning at Than Hsiang Temple (Penang) - thanhsiang.org 十善法 Ten Wholesome Dharmas 1. 保护生命,避免杀生 Protect lives and avoid killing 2. 常行布施,避免偷盗 Practice generosity & avoid taking the not given 3. 保护贞节,避免邪淫 Protect chastity and avoid sexual misconduct 4. 说诚实语,避免妄语 Speak truthfully and avoid false speech 5. 說和合语,避免两舌 Speak to promote harmony and avoid slander 6. 說柔和语,避免恶口 Speak gently and avoid harsh speech 7. 說有益语,避免绮语 Speak to benefit and avoid idle speech 8. 修知足心,避免贪婪 Develope contentment and avoid coveting 9. 修慈爱心,避免嗔恚 Develope loving kindness and avoid malice 10. 修正信心,避免邪見 Develope pure faith and avoid wrong view

We must keep on seeking the blessing and guidance of Amitabha – do not be concerned with “disturbing too much” or feel that we are not pious enough. 十方如來憐念眾生。如母憶子。若子逃逝。雖憶何為。 子若憶母。如母憶時。母子歷生不相違遠。 若眾生心。憶佛念佛。現前當來。必定見佛。去佛不遠。不假方便。自得心開。 “Out of pity for living beings, the Thus Come Ones of the ten directions are mindful of them as a mother remembers her child. If the child runs away, of what use is the mother’s regard? But if the child remembers his mother in the same way that the mother remembers the child, then in life after life the mother and child will not be far apart. If living beings remember the Buddha and are mindful of the Buddha, certainly they will see the Buddha now or in the future. They will never be far from the Buddha, and their minds will awaken by themselves, without the aid of expedients. (3) Learning at Than Hsiang Temple (Penang) - thanhsiang.org

With repentance 忏悔心, I was able to see my judgmental attitude clearly, accept this weakness as a habitual tendency and successfully develop a method to counter this in my daily life. At the retreat, it is very useful to do prostrations during breaks, to repent. I learnt the importance of repentance 忏悔, to clear bad karma 消业障 so that I can develop stronger connection with Amitabha and expand my mind 心量. As my mind calm down, I can see my habitual tendencies 习气 clearer and can forgive myself more. I am highly critical of myself and judgmental of others. I now see that these are unnecessary distractions in my cultivation and are obstacles in my career success. I have learnt to be kinder to myself and accept that this habitual tendency of mine will not just go away overnight but surely it will be reduced over the years. I feel so relieved and light as I accept this. Now, every time my critical mind arises, I gently catch it and replace the judging thoughts with silently chanting “Amituofo”.

广钦老和尚开示 忍辱是修行之本, 戒中也以忍辱为第 一道,忍辱是最大 福德之处,能行忍 的人,福报最大, 也增加定力且消业 障、开启智慧 佛七 Retreat Daily Schedule

广钦老和尚开示 別人的行為是好,我們的心裡不起歡喜貪著 心,行為不好,也不起憎惡心,要好好按捺這個心,不起煩惱,別人 不好,別 人的習氣,那是別人的事,如果我們拿來起煩惱,那就是自 己的愚癡。這樣,不論事情是好是壞,能保持這個心不動,便 是忍辱 。能夠衝破這一關,以後對什麼事就比較不會起煩惱,這點切要好好 學,好好磨練,如此業障自然消除,身體自然 也好起來。 佛七 Retreat Registration: we can register via
