Let practice become living experience again

Manang carries history, but the Vision is directed toward the present and the future. The first question is not what to build. It is: what do we hope can happen in a person's life when they come here?

A platform

Buildings are a platform.

> "So the platform, the project, the physical project --- this kind of > platform --- can be a place where one can feel the richness of history > and love, while at the same time receiving the essence of practice."

The core movement

Reconnect → Acceptance → Adjustment → Harmony

> "It helps you reconnect. And you need a space to do that. After > reconnecting, there is acceptance. Then there is adjustment. And > finally, only harmony is left."

Our generation, and the next

> "There are two things. One is our generation. The second is the > upcoming generation. Therefore, whatever project I am going to bring, > the most important thing for me is that I really want to root those > qualities: affection, love and respect, and the warmth of heart."

Living, breathing, experiential

> "For many of us, Dharma becomes recitation or something like that. But > not the living, breathing, experiential thing."

The door is not only for Buddhists

> "Dharma does not distinguish anything. You are whoever you are, > whatever you are."

Begin with a real ground

> "For even one person, we can offer something that looks very simple, > very ordinary. If it can truly inspire even one or two people and give > them this kind of ground --- a grounded confidence --- I truly believe > human families need it everywhere in the world. This should be the > core essence. It is like the main chip."
