Description

"What does it mean to be self-reliant today? In I Am Not a Monk "Sponging Off" Buddhism, Venerable Master Hsing Yun said self-reliance does not mean going it alone. For the Venerable Master, it means tireless efforts and teamwork. Through the foundation of temples and educational institutions around the globe; the writing of millions of words; the provision of countless meals, and the willingness to engage with society in multifaceted ways, this "humble monk" who was raised amid poverty and war has enriched the spiritual lives of so many by propagating the Dharma far and wide. He writes: "I made a vow that even though human life is several scores of years, I want to transform my limited human life into one that is equivalent to three hundred years." Venerable Master believes, "Where there's Dharma, there's a way.""-- Provided by publisher.
