Chan Master Sheng Yen 法鼓山創辦人聖嚴法師

AN ORDINARY MONK
AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

一位平凡的僧人 ‧ 一段不平凡的人生

His mild expression and spare figure reflect an untroubled character.
His amusing and cordial talks make audiences feel wholly accepted and understood.
His unconventional insights bring clarity, like a ray of light penetrating the darkness.
Those who go to him seeking mystical experiences will be disappointed.
But those who observe him closely will glimpse the unhindered and unbounded wisdom of this man.
In these tumultuous times of ours, Chan Master Sheng Yen, taking the Bodhisattva Guanyin of myriad manifestations as his model, has been seizing every chance to lead people to inner liberation, guiding them through life’s turning points and towards a meaningful life of transcendence and giving.

他溫和的神情與清瘦的身形,映照出他那心無罣礙的人格。
他風趣而親切的談話,讓人感到被全然接納與理解。
他獨樹一幟的洞見帶來澄澈,猶如一縷光芒穿透黑暗。
那些為尋求神秘體驗而找上他的人,也許會感到失望。
但那些近距離接觸到他的人,卻能窺見這位智者那無礙且無邊無際的智慧。
在我們這個動盪的時代,聖嚴法師以千手千眼觀世音菩薩為典範,把握每個因緣,以柔軟而有智慧的話語,引導人們走向內在的解脫,引領他們穿越人生的轉捩點,邁向充滿超越與奉獻意義的人生。
