The Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance is a well-known text in the Chinese Buddhist tradition. It was written by Tang Dynasty practitioner Master Wu-da after an encounter with the force of karmic retribution that manifested as a human-faced boil on his knee. Having personally experienced the inevitable results of karma, Master Wu-da wrote this text to caution future generations and make clear the necessity of repentance. Master Cheng Yen taught The Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance for five years in hopes that people would better understand the principles of repentance practice and apply Dharma-water to wash away the impurities in their hearts, thus approaching her goal of purifying people's hearts. With the wisdom gained from applying the Buddha-Dharma as the founder of Tzu Chi Foundation, Master Cheng Yen brings out the teachings of the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance for modern readers. Her teaching of the Water Repentance not only promotes Great Vehicle repentance practices but also establishes a unique model for her disciples to follow. By integrating the Tzu Chi spirit into the teachings of the Water Repentance, she sheds a new and unique light upon the Buddha's teachings and makes them relevant for modern living. Dharma as Water, Volume Two In volume two of Dharma as Water, A Commentary on the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, Master Cheng Yen explains how we can repent the karmic obstruction of afflictions. 'Afflictions' come from delusion. A deluded thought will give rise to the three subtle afflictions of greed, anger, and ignorance. These lead people to create karma, which results in them facing karmic retributions. Master Cheng Yen encourages her Buddhist disciples to engage in spiritual practice, take good care of their hearts, and lead others in the practice of repentance. Only by developing a reverence for the Buddha's teachings and treating one another with great compassion can we bring peace to the world.

'I am very impressed by Dharma Master Cheng Yen.'-- Thich Nhat Hanh 'Dharma Master Cheng Yen is a role model for us all.'--Dalai Lama The Thirty-Seven Principles of Enlightenment contains 7 parts: (1) The Four Right Efforts, (2) The Four Steps Towards Obtaining Supernatural Powers, (3) The Four Considerations, (4) The Five Roots, (5) The Five Strengths, (6) The Seven Factors of Wisdom, and (7) The Noble Eightfold Path. The Buddha reminded us to practice the Thirty-Seven Principles to Enlightenment, which tells us the way to live a wholesome life. We must have right views and correct belief, think in a wholesome way, and earn our living honesty. When we are inspired to do good and serve as a bodhisattva, it takes just the slightest setback to upset us and make us afflicted. Then, we want to quit. When we start to have the intention and conviction to do good, very quickly, our faith in what we're doing wavers and we lose our conviction. It's all because we're upset, or we resent others for not treating us well. So, we really have to be on guard against this and always be vigilant to stop ourselves from developing such a wrong mentality. We need to always check to see whether our good intentions have changed, whether we've slackened or stopped, and whether our convictions are gone. Then we need to ask ourselves whether we have, unintentionally, injured people and made them lose their good intentions or convictions. The Thirty-Seven Principles of Enlightenment teaches us to reflect and realize how the body is unclean, realize that feelings cause suffering, realize our thoughts are impermanent, and realize that all phenomena are empty of a true, permanent self. We must be cautious in all we do. We have to take good care of our heart and mind and stay true to our Buddha nature by removing any wrong that has already started, preventing any wrong from starting, beginning doing good deeds, and continuing to do good deeds. We must never postpone doing good deeds or put off correcting our wrongs because regret is too high a price to pay. We must avoid all that is wrong and do all that is good and wholesome because life is too short. Like the morning dew drop that disappears once the sun rises, life is as fleeting as a dream, and as fragile as a bubble. Since our life is so transient, we should apply such truth in our daily life and think in seconds and not years. A day is made up of 86,400 seconds. Life changing incident can happen any second that means the difference between life and death. To be safe and well at each second, we ought to be very grateful. At every passing second, let us harbor a heart of gratitude and prevent our thoughts from going astray. The Buddha's teachings are a wonderful guide especially when we live in turbulent times and natural disasters are happening at an alarming rate. The Buddha wanted everyone to realize the truth of suffering, its cause and the way to eliminate it, and He exhorted all to faithfully uphold and walk the Eightfold Path. Let us not rely only on knowledge to guide us in life, but wisdom too. When we do what is right, we are using our wisdom. When we refrain from doing what is wrong, we are also using our wisdom. We should learn quickly. That will be a true blessing.

A central text of the Consciousness-Only (Yogācāra) school of Buddhism in China, this treatise by the Indian scholar-monk Vasubandhu presents a list of 100 dharmas, primary elements of our experience. The list includes elements ranging from the subconscious realms of the mind to the sense organs, and from the material world to the unconditioned. Master Hua’s commentary provides examples and explanations of all the elements. Theory and practice merge in his commentary, as he shows how this text is not mere philosophy, but is of invaluable use on the Buddhist path, breaking through confusion and attachment.

Chah offers a thorough exploration of Theravadan Buddhism in a gentle, sometimes humorous, style that makes the reader feel as though he or she is being entertained by a story. He emphasizes the path to freedom from emotional and psychological suffering and provides insight into the fact that taking ourselves seriously causes unnecessary hardship. Ajahn Chah influenced a generation of Western teachers: Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Sylvia Boorstein, Joseph Goldstein, and many other Western Buddhist teachers were at one time his students. Anyone who has attended a retreat led by one of these teachers, or read one of their books, will be familiar with this master's name and reputation as one of the great Buddhist teachers of this century.

In this book, Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s spiritual teachings are compiled into relatively short English articles for reflection and contemplation. The collection is an eclectic one, based on talks to different audiences and from different sources. While they are loosely grouped into separate topics, each occupying one part of the book, the articles may stand on their own. Part I offers basic teachings on Buddhism, which can serve as a foundation for understanding the Master’s wider teachings. Part II is about cultivation, or ways we can put the teachings into practice to become a better person. Part III introduces Tzu Chi, its spirit, and how Tzu Chi volunteers learn to be bodhisattvas through Tzu Chi work. Part IV shares the practice of repentance in a series of articles which teach us to look inward to find solutions to the many problems that we see in our world and encounter in life. In giving teachings, the Master guides people to see the real truths and principles in life, and these are universal to all human beings no matter what country they are from, what religion they practice, and what language they speak. The teachings have been compiled with care to reflect the Master's style of using simple, easy-to-understand language to help people to 'understand the spiritual teachings, take them to heart, and be inspired to practice them in their daily lives'—for this is the Master's heartfelt wish.

A renowned Buddhist teacher's magnum opus, based on his fresh reading of the tradition's earliest texts Some twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters. This original and provocative book presents a new framework for understanding the remarkable spread of Buddhism in today's globalized world. It also reminds us of what was so startling about the Buddha's vision of human flourishing.
