Chan Magazine Winter 2007
"Among the great masters and adepts, Chan was known as the Dharma gate of ‘letting go of one’s life’ and ‘putting to death one’s delusion.’ When one can die the great death of delusion, then one can live the great life of awakening. This is the meaning of resolving the great matter of life and death."
– Chan Master Sheng Yen, from the introduction to his new book 'Attaining the Way: A Guide to the Practice of Chan Buddhism'.
