Liberated in Stillness and Motion 動靜皆自在(英文版)

Live a life of ease and freedom, on the basis of peace and solidity,
with the principle of being less agitated and affected.

Many masters in the history of Chinese Chan Buddhism emphasized practice as daily living. Whether monastic or lay, a follower uses the concepts and methods of Chan in daily life. By doing so, one experiences calmness and ease while being spontaneous and lively amidst mundane reality. Chan is not a religion, not a philosophy, and surely not mysterious or weird sorcery. It is the wisdom of living, the cultivation of body and mind, and a principle and guideline for spiritual development. It is also the best method for influencing and purifying the environment.
--Master Sheng Yen
