What is Heart Chan?

Reduce our complex universe to oneness with our heart is "Heart Chan". Then how do we carry out this oneness with the universe through our heart and be one with the One?  Chinese scholar, Confuscius asked us to, "Integrated with the universe."  This is the spirit of Chan. Chan is more than just sitting there without moving.  Most importantly, Chan is to integrate our mind and body.  Balancing our mind and body is one of our tasks.  Balancing our relationship with others in our family or at work, as well as with our possessions is also our task.  Living our life without bias or conflict is Chan.  Reaching a harmonious state for everything inside and outside of ourselves, in physical or spiritual relationships, in conceptual or practical mindsets or in lifestyles, is what the practice of Heart Chan is for.

The goal of Heart Chan is to reach Purity, Wisdom, Fulfillment and Enlightenment through wisdom beyond our knowledge and experience.  Heart Chan manifests naturally, when wisdom surfaces, and when we surpass the hindrance of our consciousness.  Because, the practice of Heart Chan contains the superior wisdom and ability of the universe.  Simply practice according to our instructions, our wisdom shall flourish.

For instance, as we meditate without thinking, we are in essence surpassing the hindrance of our consciousness.  We could then be in sync with our spirit.  We could then receive the messages from our spirit.  Because our spiritual inspiration is fundamentally wise as well as bright.  This brightness makes us healthy, and integrates our mind.  Heart Chan is the wisdom from Shakyamuni Buddha, which fine-tunes our physical and spiritual qualities. It enables a normal person to receive the essence of our life, to rejuvenate the cells in our body, to be healthy and joyful, to attain the spiritual wisdom, to elevate the spirit to a higher realm, to perfect a kind and beautiful personality, and powering a normal person to become a saint.  Therefore, the spirit of Heart Chan is "Surpassing oneself and enlightening others."
