The Origin of Bodhi College

When it comes to Buddhism, people in China have a cordial feeling. When it comes to learning Buddhism, it is often daunting. Kindness is because Buddhism has been integrated with China traditional culture for thousands of years; Retreat because the classics are vast and difficult to enter.

In recent years, with the great improvement of material conditions, people have begun to have more needs for spiritual life. Faith is the ultimate direction of this demand. Once upon a time, believing in Buddhism was still a taboo topic, but now, the temple incense is flourishing, and the number of believers is increasing day by day, which has great potential for revival. At the same time, the popularity of the Internet and various media has exposed people to a large number of classic magic weapons that were rare in the past. This of course brings a lot of convenience to learning Buddhism, but it also brings trouble in choosing. Without effective guidance, scholars either dabble in a wide range but fail to get to the point, or are paranoid at one end in their hearts, or seek up and down but become superficial.

Buddhism, this way of peace of mind, makes you more uneasy in your overwhelmed study; This is the way to relieve pain, and learning extremes will increase his pain; This is the way out. Learning is rigid, which makes the body and mind more bound.

What do you want to learn from Buddhism?

Buddhism, how can we get rid of confusion and troubles?

Under the busy life rhythm of modern people, can we ensure the effectiveness and continuity of learning? How to apply the learned Buddhism to work and life, so that life can have quality? How to follow the guidance of Buddhism and move from this side of trouble to the other side of liberation? ...

Feeling that there are various obstacles for the public to learn Buddhism, Master Ji Qun embarked on the road of spreading Buddhism on 1992, which was the first in China. For more than twenty years, I have often been invited to give lectures in universities, business circles, cultural circles, psychological circles and other groups inside and outside teaching. Later, he made extensive contact with the public through books, internet and other means, and the voice of the law continued, and it was difficult to count the people who benefited from the law. Regrettably, although these channels have created more karma for people to hear about the law, they still lack continuous follow-up, and it is difficult to systematically guide them and make them continue to play a role.

In view of this, based on the evidence of 30 years' practice, the master put forward "conversion, initiation, discipline, right view and stop seeing" as the five elements of Buddhist practice. This incisive induction points out a shortcut to the center for mass learning. In addition, the three-level research and Bodhi College established around the five elements provide orderly guidance for scholars, both in theoretical research and practical application. What is even more rare is that this set of replicable learning mode with good quality and quantity has effectively alleviated the realistic dilemma of the shortage of teachers in the teaching profession.

Since the trial promotion of Bodhi Academy, we have set up three classes in Suzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen, Wenzhou and Shenzhen. Although students have different academic qualifications when they enter school, some of them are beginners who have not yet entered Buddhism and come with life confusion; Some are old practitioners who have studied Buddhism for many years and come with learning problems. Practice has proved that under the guidance of the three-level learning model, no matter what the students' foundation is, as long as they follow the attitude of "sincerity, seriousness and honesty", they can benefit a lot in a short time and are willing to share this joy with the people around them. Therefore, this is an effective way of contemporary learning.

Regarding the learning characteristics of Bodhi Academy, the master put forward "four ones", namely: one goal-liberation; Map-three-level learning mode; A mentor-good knowledge to stop learning; A group of partners-Taoist friends of Bodhi College.
