Overview

The Harmonious Culture Development Foundation (HCDF), Juexue Culture Center, was established in 2013 in Texas, USA, by North American disciples of the Chan Buddhism Zen School. As a charitable organization committed to promoting peace, improving health, popularizing Awakening Study cultural education, and fostering social harmony, it upholds the Buddhist spirit of worldly engagement combined with the essence of self-cultivation from the Zen School. The foundation seeks to make positive contributions to society and benefit the public. The foundation's mission is to deeply explore the inner value and meaning of life, with a focus on ""awakening individual life."" It strives to facilitate communication, interaction, and the integration of information and energy within life systems; optimize these systems, purify the mind, and cultivate character; practice the values of life; and create an environment defined by ""freedom, equality, and fraternity."" The HCDF adopts the guiding principle of ""Buddhism in the secular world, secularism in Buddhism"" and is grounded in the spiritual foundation of ""equality of all beings, self-awakening, and awakening others."" It integrates the concept of ""harmonious unification"" from Awakening Study into social practice. The foundation collaborates with various sects, organizations, and groups to promote and implement activities centered on humanism, health, spiritual growth, and social purification. These efforts aim to promote physical and mental harmony, enhance quality of life, stimulate infinite wisdom, and realize the highest value of life. The book reflects the author's opinions, and not necessarily the views of EHGBooks.

Afterword The philosopher Nietzsche once said, ""Every great philosophy so far has been a confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir."" Many of the stories from Zen Master Xingwu's early life may seem unbelievable, as if his fate was weighed down by an invisible force, forcing him to the depths. However, he was never an unnecessary presence in this world; rather, he was a soul speaking out for sentient beings, tirelessly upholding the true Dharma.From one perspective, the history of China appears to be a blood-stained chronicle of suffering conscience. No matter how turbulent the times, history should never forget those noble hearts who sacrificed for faith and justice. Their names may fade, but their spirit and actions remain eternal, always shining brightly in the current of time.He has never truly left-he has been quietly watching, patiently awaiting the right moment. Now, as his story returns to the broader English-speaking world, I believe there will be those who understand him, those whose hearts resonate with his. No matter how deep the darkness that sometimes engulfs the human world, the light has never disappeared. That light is our faith, the flame that never dies within the human heart.Believe that every saint has a past, and every demon will have a future. May we walk through this world with compassion and faith, never ceasing in our pursuit of truth.A Dharma Heir Disciple of the Heart Sect Lineage October 11, 2024
