歡迎您一起來享受正念禪修帶來的平和喜悅、體會生命的奇蹟！

梅村僧團暨一行禪師簡介
曾獲諾貝爾獎和平獎二度提名、享譽國際的世界宗教領袖一行禪師 (Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh)，1926年出生於越南，十六歲出家，是臨濟禪師第四十二代傳人。由於禪師努力更新佛法, 使佛教廣為西方人士接受，對西方社會影響極大, 為西方國家最具影響力之一及最受鐘愛的佛法導師。

禪師壯年時期適逢越戰 (1959~1975), 他努力不懈地推動和平，提倡非暴力和平運動。禪師發展出一套入世佛教 (Engaged
Buddhism)用以處理現世各種痛苦與問題。

禪師不僅是位優秀的宗教實踐家和和平運動者，還是一位詩人、作家。著作己經被譯成三十多個國家的文字，在歐美暢銷書排行榜中曾兩度進入前十名。禪師通曉越、英、法、中、梵、及巴利文，著有佛學論述、詩集、小說、傳記等上百本著作，在台灣亦出版《正念的奇蹟》、《橘子禪》等數十種暢銷著作並擁有廣大讀者群。每年，在全世界接觸到禪師的開示及書本的人次超過幾百萬。

1967年，美國黑人民權領袖小馬丁．路德．金博士深受禪師感動，稱禪師為一個「謙卑無我的聖者」, 提名他為諾貝爾和平獎得主。

1982年他在法國南部建立了國際知名的「梅村」禪修中心，推廣正念的禪修，並幫助來自世界各地的難民、越戰退役軍人及兒童等。禪師常赴世界各地弘法, 教導正念生活的藝術。梅村僧團弟子來自世界各國，目前分支道場已遍布歐、美、亞、澳各洲， 並包括上千個以上的居士共修團。

禪師把五戒重新演繹為五項正念修習，讓大眾易於接受和明白，使能在日常生活中應用出來。聯合國教育科學及文化組織 (UNESCO) 採納了五項正念修習，寫成宣言向全世界發表。至2006年2月21日為止，宣言已有75,847,655（接近七千六百萬）位來自世界各地的人士署名支持。

2001年12月14日，獲贈美國哈佛大學醫學院身心研究所，三十五年來第一個「身心靈研究貢獻獎」以表揚他提倡「正念修持」(Mindful Training) 的卓越貢獻——經過許多科學家的研究，證明他所提倡的正念修持，對於轉化壓力及保持身心平衡有明顯的效果。這是佛教的正念修持，首次受到國際醫學界的肯定。

2007-08 那爛陀大學國際多希建立家庭和諧橋樑者獎
Nalanda International Doshi Family Bridgebuilder Award

2011 獲選為二十五位歷史上對人類具有卓越貢獻者之一, 紀念雕像現立於美國加州奧克蘭

Oneness

I love walking in the rain, my steps in sync with the droplets. One rainy night, as I enjoyed the refreshing air cleansed by the rain, I noticed a little snail. He was crawling slowly toward the grass on a sidewalk littered with the remains of his companions, all crushed to death by passers-by.

I picked up a leaf and prodded him to move a bit faster. I found myself talking to him— "If you don't move faster, you will surely be stomped to death like your friends!"— and saw that he was slowly crawling back into his shell for protection.

Looking closely at him, so fragile, struggling for survival, I felt a deep sense of love for him. His desire to live and to breathe was just as grand as mine. In our shared worlds, his existence is just as important as mine. Yet for humans like me, it is so easy to carelessly kill him with our steps.

By our irresponsible ways of living and consuming, we humans are extinguishing the rights of many species to live on this beautiful planet, and those of our own future generations. We act as if we were the only species on this planet, superior to all.

Without the sun, we cannot exist.
Without the water, we cannot exist.
Without the minerals, we cannot exist.
Without the trees, we cannot exist.

When we have the awareness of interconnectedness, we will naturally want to live in such a way that we cause less harm to our beloved planet. We will respect the rights of all other species as brothers and sisters of one big family. Then together we can transform the suffering of our planet by living mindfully and gently as individuals, societies, and as a global community.

Painting Spring

Right where you stand,
is the valley of endless spring.
- Dogen

Left home at a very young age for the West, I was determined to see the world and live a life of my own. My parents were heartbroken, yet nothing could stop me from setting out to explore the world. Like a little river on the mountaintop, I wanted to see and swim in the vast ocean! For as long as I could remember, I had incessantly searched for a paradise outside of myself, believing that it was somewhere on the other side of the horizon. Yet, even after traveling to so many stunning lands, I never arrived, nor was I ever content where I was for long, until one day I arrived at the refuge of Thay’s teachings.

I came to learn that I really had no need to run or to search. All I needed to do was simply be present with what was right in front of me, here and now, with my breath and my whole being. I learned to breathe. I learned to walk. I learned to be with the natural enviornment. I learned to be with myself.

Mindfulness has taught me to live life deeply—whenever I am able to—and helped me touch the wonders of life all around me and within me, something I had dreamed of being able to do since a young teenager. I feel so blessed to finally have a tiny taste of living that dream, a dream that does not require much wealth or great success, but the freedom of being able to simply live life deeply and beautifully.

Smiles often bloom on my face as I discover the wonders of life around me. Thanks to the practice, the world has once again been revealed beautifully to me. The practice has helped me see, hear, touch, and just be with life. As I began to see miracles every day and everywhere, I began to touch the child inside me and to create the way I did when I was a kid. I delight in the child-like freedom of expressing my experiences and feelings without worrying about being perfect or being judged. I try to remember always that I am a child of Mother Earth and how I love her and wish to protect her in every way that I can.

I have happily arrived home, here on Earth. I have touched and painted endless spring.

梅村正念(半日)禪修營~ 修行的藝術

The Art of Practice

心到千萬處, 行禪心安然
步步微風起, 步步蓮花香。
The mind can go in a thousand directions.

With each step, a gentle wind blows.
With each step, a flower blooms.
