Question:

Greetings Ven. Master!

I think I found you because of Medicine Master Buddha’s guidance! I have always recited Medicine
​
Master Buddha’s name albeit not that frequently! I hope that you will clarify a few things for me!!!

Question:

[A Buddhist disciple who is 63 years old asks:]

I have been meditating for several years with little result… Thanks to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I was able to get a hold of your book, “The Chan Handbook: The Learner’s Guide to Meditation.” ​​

After reading it, I realized that you are a competent and kind Good Knowing Adviser. That is why I wish to learn meditation from you. I live quite far away, in Illinois. Please kindly tell me when you will hold your meditation retreats, the location and duration. Also, how can I get in touch with you?

Thank you very much.

​Question:

Ven. Master,

I read Great Master Xuan Hua’s explanation of the Great Compassion Mantra. It made me sincerely want to practice the 42 Hands & Eyes Dharma. Please help me fulfill my wish.

Question:

I wish to cultivate at home. Please tell me what books I should purchase and how to recite sutras. I still have a young child and therefore cannot take the time to go to the temple to cultivate. Is it OK to eat vegetarian six days a month?

Question:

I don’t know why, but every time I sit down to study I cannot concentrate. However, when I
recite the Buddha’s name fervently my scatteredness disappears. Should I quit school and
leave the home life?
