Chan enlightenment is attained through a sudden encounter; or, it may come about spontaneously after serious and sincere investigation and introspection. Chan philosophy represents a clear current that is empty yet responsive, detached and magnanimous, open and broad-minded, bright and luminous. Chan as a way of life is positive and progressive, free and easy, simple and modest, confident and comfortable. Chan as a way of thinking is to let go of selfishness, self-deceit, self-pity, self-arrogance, and self-confinement, and only then can there be complete boundless freedom. Chan methods teach people to first practice knowing the self, affirming the self, and then shattering the self, and thus the enlightened state will appear. —Master Sheng Yen—

聖嚴法師法語摘錄——
禪的精神就是活在當下,用輕鬆愉快的心情過生活。The spirit of Chan is to live in the present moment with a relaxed and joyful mind.
放得下,即是對任何人、事、物的好壞不執著;看得破,是遇任何順逆境,不生喜惡之心。Letting go means not clinging to people, things, or circumstances as good or bad; seeing through means not giving rise to likes or dislikes when encountering favorable or unfavorable conditions.
我們每個人從自己的內心和生活的環境做起,經常保持整齊、清潔、清淨、簡樸、少欲、知足,這個世界才有可能一點一點轉變成淨土。Only when each of us begins with our own mind and living environment, and consistently maintains neatness, cleanliness, tranquility, simplicity, few desires, and contentment, can this world gradually be transformed into a pure land.
