Temple Characteristics
The fusion of Sutrayana and Tantrayana teachings is one of the few Buddhist meditation monasteries in North America that integrates both Sutrayana and Tibetan Vajrayana teachings.
Taken refuge under H.H. the 17th Karmapa, the Abbess Master Miao Jing and Master Miao Yin insisted on following the highest guide of H.H. the 17th Karmapa, who was triumphant to learn Buddhism and meditation. When the conditions were mature, they began to take responsibility. Canada’s important task of spreading Buddhism..
Adult Mindfulness Training
The temple offers adult mindfulness training. Through practicing Mindfulness Meditation, you will awaken the inner wisdom and peace. In Buddhist philosophy, the ultimate benefit of meditation is liberation of the mind from attachment. The liberated or “enlightened” practitioner no longer needlessly follows desires or clings to experiences, but instead maintains a calm mind and sense of inner harmony.
Take a TourYouth Meditation Training
Great Compassion Bodhi Prajna Temple hopes to teach the youth to practice Buddha’s precious teachings in daily life. Moreover, it is conveyed to the hearts of young people in a relaxed and lively manner, and the Dharma is used to absorb the seeds of kindness of young people and children, so that the seeds of goodness can germinate, root and grow, and become a towering tree of goodness. We believe youth with the correct life moral and compassion will have a positive impact on society.
