Abstract: Encounter dialogues refer to the questions and responses that take place between Chan masters and their students. These spontaneous everyday conversations showcase Chan’s core tradition a practice of “living,” rather than just “sitting.” In this down-to-earth talk, Venerable Jian Dan will use many well-known Chan stories to illustrate the concept of Chan meditation – to cultivate in sitting (stillness) but to practice in living (movement). He will even share some of his personal encounters with his teacher and use those stories to help bring Chan practice from ancient China to 21st century America.
Many people attended this talk, including professors from the Department of Religion and Department of Philosophy. After the talk, Venerable gave rosary to those who wish to receive blessings. Two students approached Venerable and requested to have private one-on-one lunch meeting with him.
