A Mind Without Limits

Great Buddha Monastery Holds the 2024 Weeklong Intensive Beginner’s Meditation Class in Thailand

From August 25^th to September 1^st, practitioners and volunteers from all over the world gathered in Great Buddha Monastery for a week of intensive practice. They learned core Buddhist teachings and participated in a diverse array of activities, all meant to break down their attachments and reveal the pure mind.

The architecture of Chung Tai Chan Monastery harmoniously integrates elements of art, culture and technology with the Dharma, and serves as a demonstration of the “Five Directions of Spreading Buddhism.” It was awarded the “Taiwan Architecture Award” in 2002, and the “International Award for Lighting Design” in 2003, writing a new page in 21st century Buddhist architecture.

 The Difference Between the Ignorant and Wise

Maintaining pure karma of body, speech and mind by performing the ten virtuous actions will help us progress on the path to enlightenment.

Compassion is one of Buddhism’s fundamental tenets. Eating a vegetarian diet with the intention to save sentient beings helps us live gentler and purer lives. Here, we regularly share healthy vegetarian recipes so you can not only experience the joy of vegetarian eating, but also cultivate a more compassionate mind.

Chung Tai Chan Monastery welcomes requests for guided tours. Due to the ongoing pandemic, masks will be required during tours to protect the health of visitors.
