Mahch'an Buddhism is a school that teaches that all people have the capacity to become awakened and realize the true nature of reality.
Practitioners of Mahayana (Great Vehicle) Buddhism strive to follow the Bodhisatva path to awakening so that they may guide others to awakening as well. Chan Buddhism concentrates on the aspect of Zen.
Mach'an Buddhism is a combination of both teachings incorporating Martial Arts/Self Defence techniques along with the Dharma, as taught by Bodhidharma to the monks of the Shaolin Temple in China, as a way to develop the body as well as the Buddha Nature. In addition to Gung Fu, we also provide Muay Thai training.
By this practice we believe in the frequent ordination of lay monks and priests to propagate the teachings without the rigors of a harsh monastic life but while living in the world and attending with interest in the courses of this temple on a regular basis.
