美國普德精舍禪修班學員/Tameka S. Jones My practice plan for 2013, is to more consistently implement the Zen Buddhist teachings in my daily life. In particular, I will use the principles of Zen to help me eradicate anger, greed and ignorance. I also plan to devote more time and energy to Zen study and meditation in order to deepen my overall understanding and practice.(我的二○一三年修行計畫,是在日常生活中更持續地實踐禪法。尤其是運用禪法去除貪瞋癡。我也計畫花更多的時間與精神學禪及打坐,深化學習與修行。)
美國普德精舍禪修班學員/Gladys Wesley-Kennedy As a long-term American Zen practitioner, I have realized that it is extremely rare─if not impossible─for most Americans to learn true Buddha Dharma. Consequently, I feel tremendously blessed to be able to learn authentic Zen Buddhism at Chung Tai Zen Center of Houston. To take advantage of this precious opportunity, my 2013 resolution is to do whatever I can to support the mission of Chung Tai Zen Center of Houston, and to apply more diligently the learned principles and practices in my daily life.(身為一個長期學禪的美國人,我認識到,對大多數美國人而言,想要學習真正的佛法,如果不是沒有機會,就是非常稀有難得。因此,個人深感自己真是有極大的福報,可以在普德精舍學習到正統的禪法。為了充分利用這個珍貴的機會,我的二○一三年新願望是,盡我所能協助普德精舍的任何事情,同時,要更精進地將所學的教理觀行落實於日常生活中。)
