Ven. Huimen expertise in Chan Tradition ‘KanHuaCanChan’ Inquiry Meditation Method and Tibetan Great Perfection Meditation, he has insightful exploration and exquisite experiences in the various meditation techniques from the three great traditions: Northern Buddhism (Mahayana), Southern Buddhism (Theravada) and Tibetan Buddhism.
Inspired by The Great Master Da Hui「寧以此身代眾生受地獄苦，終不以佛法當人情」: 「I would rather substitute this body of mine to endure the sufferings of all beings in hell; than to ever compromise the true teachings of Buddhism to accommodate customary interests, and in the process blinding others.」and The Great Master Da Hui「師乃握竹篦。為應機之器」:「Using the Bamboo Clapper as an expedient device」, thus flexible in using Chan [逼拶] BiZa* devices to help students breakthrough the hurdle, Ven Huimen focuses and emphasises on current Dharma Propagation of Chan Tradition ‘KanHuaCanChan’ Inquiry Meditation Method, and has flexibly sowed the seeds to all corners, both locally and abroad.
*[逼拶] BiZa is an expedient device used by Chan Masters, either gentle or rough way to help the students to progress and breakthrough in any stages of their practice. It can also occur in animate or inanimate context, however in this context it refers to a human master actuating the BiZa on the students
