What’s life and where did it come from?

How was the universe formed?

How can we attain spiritual liberation and inner peace?

 

    You will be surprised to discover that the Buddhist teachings have the answers to all these questions and to many other questions you may have! The Buddhist teachings are profound, broad, and practical, and we vow to introduce them to our viewers one teaching at a time. We cordially invite you to join us and explore the ocean-like wisdom of the Buddha.

 

   Embracing the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, Venerable Xiao Pingshi (蕭平實導師) established the True Enlightenment Practitioners Association (佛教正覺同修會; Zhengjue) to publish, disseminate discourses and interpretations of the Buddha's teachings. Venerable Pingshi focuses on and dedicates himself entirely to the welfare and well-being of each and every Buddhist practitioner. He consistently explicates the Ultimate Reality of the Buddha Dharma with his attainment of the Buddhist wisdom of the tathagatagarbha. His teachings are far reaching and touch on a broad spectrum of Buddhist teachings, including Chan, prajna, Pure Land, the Agama sutras, the implicit teachings of the Surangama Sutra, training in higher wisdom in Consciousness-Only, and precept observance. 

 

   In this website, you will find publications by Venerable Xiao PingShi, a brief introduction to our Venerable Xiao Pingshi, the True Enlightenment Vows, the Procedures of Three-Jewel Refuge, the True Enlightenment Dharani (正覺總持咒; Zhengjui zǒng chí zhòu), the chart of the Practice Stages toward Buddhahood, and articles and videos on a wide range of related topics. Whether you are a Buddhist learner or just someone who is interested in knowing more about Buddhism, we sincerely hope that this website will offer you a fresh and intellectually stimulating perspective of what Buddhism is really about.

A Discourse on The Buddha Treasury Sutra, Preface

This sutra explains why the Buddha Bodhi is so difficult to realize—the accumulated false views of countless eons in the past have resulted in karmic obstructions that make it impossible to seek realization in this life. With the ultimate reality of all dharmas as its basis, this sutra provides a detailed explanation of the core essence of all Buddhas and the Dharmas, followed by the chapters “Mindfulness of Buddha,” “Mindfulness of the Dharma,” and “Mindfulness of Sangha,” in which the four assemblies are expected to uphold the pure precepts, thereby transforming the nature of their minds. In addition, illustrations with examples from the “Passage to the Past” chapter teach the four assemblies that they must extirpate false views and turn to correct ones. Finally, through the elucidations in the chapters “Understanding of Precepts” and “The Instructions of Entrustment," it is anticipated that in the Dharma-ending era, the four assemblies will be able to purify their views and personally realize the Bodhi.

All those who hear and accurately understand the Dharma teachings in accordance with their principles will enter the correct Buddha Dharma and directly witness that all non-dharma also comes from the dharma. This will allow practitioners to bring forth the realization that dharma and non-dharma are neither identical nor different, and attain awakening to the ultimate reality pertaining to prajñā, becoming a bodhisattva who has realized the True Mind.
