About this Event

Welcome to the "Chan Meditation Class"! Join us every Saturday from December 28, 2024, to February 8, 2025, at the Mahayana Temple. The class is divided into two sessions to suit your level of practice:

Beginner Class: The Seven-Point Sitting Posture

Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon

Advanced Class: Chan Meditation

Time: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

These sessions provide a structured introduction to Chan Buddhism for beginners and a deeper exploration of its profound practices for advanced practitioners. Whether you’re just starting out or seeking to deepen your spiritual journey, these classes offer the perfect opportunity to learn and grow. Come and discover the peace and wisdom that Chan Buddhism has to offer!

This Chan Meditation class is designed by Venerable Rumu. It is aimed to guide those of us who are busy chasing dreams in the big apple, to redirect our attention to the nature of ourselves, to clear affliction and delusion, and to eventually get in touch with the purest wisdom we are endowed with.

Venerable Rumu was born in 1980 and has grown up in a temple since childhood.

After high school, he studied at the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist College and was ordained as a monk in 1999.

He graduated from the Buddhist college in 2004 and received full bhikkhu ordination the same year.

Ven. Rumu then entered the Buddhist Vimutti-Magga Institute, specializing in the studies of Mahayana ChanBuddhism’s Kanhua Can Chan under the tutelage of Chan Master Hui Men of Viriyachan Monastery. He has followed Master Hui Men to lead meditation retreats in the United States, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and China.

He has also been invited to give lectures on KanhuaCan Chan at various universities and temples, including Wuhan University’s School of Philosophy Studies, Tzu Chi University’s Institute of Religion and Humanities, Fo Guang University’s Department of Buddhist Studies, and several other temples in New Zealand, Indonesia, and Taiwan.

In 2013, Ven. Rumu received the Dharma transmission from Master Hui Men, becoming the 43rd generation Dharma heir in the Linji lineage and the 49th generation Dharma heir of the Caodong school of Chan Buddhism and holds the appointment of the Head Instructor Monk of the Viriyachan Monastery.

Ven. Rumu served as the Dean of the Viriya Chan University from 2013 to 2014. From 2014 to 2020, he served as the abbot of Taipei Puji Temple. Since 2016, he has also been the Director of the “Unveiling the Potential of Youth – Chan Meditation Camps” organized by Malaysia’s Buddha Sasana Foundation.
