Sangha
Many people come to meditate for different reasons. Some are stressed out from work, others are looking for enlightenment (good luck!) and others want to cultivate their meditation practice with the support of other practitioners. The Characters to the left translate as "Harmony at the Center of the Heart Chan Buddhist Temple". Our Sangha (community of practitioners) was formally established in March 2008 to serve those students and community members who wish to pursue in-depth study and training in Chan Meditation and Buddhist studies. We are a lay order, not monastic. There are no monks, nuns, or ascetic people wandering around. We emphasize the cultivation of insight and clarity through meditation practice; something accessible to anyone regardless of their background or religious convictions. Our Sangha is not affiliated with any other organization or temple, in China or elsewhere; however, because Master Fa Neng (法能師範) is a precepted Buddhist (via Shi Chuan Xue) in the lineage of Great Chan Master Hui Neng (慧能) (638-713 CE) and in the tradition of Great Chan Master Yunmen (雲門) (862-949 CE), our Sangha exists as a bead on a string of a long line of Buddhist practitioners dating back to Shakyamuni Buddha over 2,500 years ago.
Services: There are several courses of study and practice that are extracurricular to both Martial Arts and Meditation. They complement and add depth to ones practice. The following services are offered apart from our normal programs, and are offered free of charge as a gift of dana:
- Triple Refuge Ceremony: This ceremony is all that is required to become a Dharma student/ practitioner of Buddhism. It is not a conversion, as we practice Buddhism as a practice... not as a religion. Buddhist practice can cultivate discipline and peace of mind through mindfulness and meditation, things which certainly do not conflict with most religions. At this occasion, people formally take "refuge" as a student of the "Three Treasures"... The Buddha (guide), Dharma (instruction), and Sangha (group of practitioners). It is at this time when one receives the black Hai Qing Robe (long Daoist-type robe with draping sleeves). This event is held quarterly, in the months of January, April, July, and October, as well as during the biannual precepts ceremony. Those wishing to take refuge and receive the precepts simultaneously, may do so at the June and December precepts ceremonies.
- Precepts Ceremony: This ceremony is when people take 5 vows; to abstain from taking life, to refrain from lying, to abstain from stealing, to refrain from taking intoxicants to produce heedlessness, and to abstain from misconduct done in lust. At this time, they receive a Dharma Name / fo hao (佛號), a certificate to mark the occasion, and the 5 precepts in print with explication and significance. This ceremony is conducted biannually on the summer and winter solstices. In 2008, these will be held on June 20th and December 21st.
- Interviews: Chan interviews are conducted weekly, after the meditation session.
- Extra Practice: Students who have already taken refuge are welcomed to attend extra practice. This is held on Sundays a short while after meditation practice concludes. Those who attend the meditation practice are not required to attend extra practice. It is here when students do chanting practice (using those chants which are philosophically relevant to practice), bowing practice (moving exercise for the body/mind), in-depth philosophical analysis of various topics, and sutra study (using those classical texts which are useful for modern practice).

The Chicago Ratna Shri Sangha is a non-profit organization dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism as passed down in the Drikung Kagyu Lineage founded by Lord Jigten Sumgon in the 12th Century. Born in Tibet Lord Jigten Sumgon (Rinchen Phel or Ratna Shri in Sanskrit) was an emanation of Buddha Shakyamuni and was considered to be one of the greatest disciples of Phagmo Drupa, who named him as his successor.
Founded in 1994 by the Venerable Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche, Chicago Ratna Shri Sangha has sustained itself with regular practice in the homes of local practitioners and teachings given by the precious lamas of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, who have been invited several times yearly.
Under the guidance of our spiritual director, Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche, we are striving to establish a strong center dedicated to serving the Chicago area as a place for teachings, practice, contemplation, and meditation. Under the guidance of Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche, our goal is to sponsor regular retreats, teachings, and to maintain our regular weekly practice. In the future we hope to establish a broader spectrum of activities to benefit both the local community and other communities worldwide.

Cloud Cottage Sangha
Mindfulness Practice in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh
"Our actions are our only true belongings"
–Shakyamuni Buddha
We are a group of mindfulness practitioners–not bound by any ideology–who come from various backgrounds. We meet often to enjoy seated meditation, sutra readings and study, dharma talks, chanting, singing and dharma discussion. Striving to incorporate our spirituality into everyday life, we look for ways to cultivate peace and loving kindness and to work for the well being of all life on the planet. We believe in a supportive community, social engagement, right livelihood, simple healthful living and learning to dwell happily in the present moment.
Cloud Cottage offers a Zen lending library, a rich schedule of retreats, an annual mindfulness healing fair, and talks and retreats by visiting teachers.
Our teacher is a gentle monk, Vietnamese Zen master and peace maker, the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, whose home monastery is Plum Village in Southern France. (For more information, we refer you to www.iamhome.org.) He is a best-selling author who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and who is known for his socially engaged practice.
Our lay ministers are Judith and Philip Toy who were ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh as members of the Order of Interbeing, founded by our teacher during the Vietnam War but tracing its roots back to the Buddha. Judith and Philip have founded two sanghas–communities of practitioners–in the US as well as one prison sangha in a medium security prison in Pennsylvania.
DIRECTIONS TO CLOUD COTTAGE:
FROM ASHEVILLE, Travel East on Rte I-40 to Exit 66, Ridgecrest (one exit after Black Mountain). Take a left at the top of the ramp and proceed across the bridge. At the stop sign at the end of the bridge, turn left and travel exactly seven-tenths of a mile to Old Toll Rd. (Street sign on left, road on right.) Take a right onto Old Toll Rd. (You will also see a Mt. Mitchell Railroad plaque and a Burgin’s Chapel sign there.) Immediately you will see that you have three options; take the middle way! (Old Toll Circle) We are the second drive on the left (you will not see the house). On the mailbox is printed 219 Cloud Cottage.
JUST AFTER YOU TURN ONTO OLD TOLL RD., THERE IS A FLAT GRASSY AREA NEAR A TELEPHONE POLE ON YOUR RIGHT. YOU MAY PREFER TO PARK THERE AND WALK UP THE ROAD AND UP THE DRIVE (IT’S A VERY STEEP BUT BLESSEDLY SHORT DRIVEWAY.)
OR IF YOU COME UP THE DRIVE AND PARK, you will know you’re in the right place when you see the big folk art sun. It’s a good idea to turn your car around so that you’re facing out. There are also three or four parking places in front of the cottage. Walk up the outside stairs of the two-story building behind the cottage. We will meet there, always in silence. Please remove your shoes after you come in the door and find a seat. There are no assigned seats. We have cushions, benches and chairs available. (If we are expecting a large group, we’ll advise you ahead of time to park at the grassy area on your right just at the turn onto Old Toll Rd., and to walk up the drive.) Enjoy your breathing!
THE BATHROOM is in the cottage, through the kitchen and turn left into the hallway off the livingroom, first door on your left. No need to knock. The best times to use the bathroom are before or after meditation, or during walking meditation.
FROM BLACK MOUNTAIN: Travel East on Route 70 from Montreat Rd. (Route 9) past the Black Mountain Primary School on your left and past the Super 8 Motel. At that corner, take the left-right jog in the road and continue to travel East parallel to the highway. DO NOT ENTER THE HIGHWAY, but stay on 70 which looks like an access road at this point. Our road, Old Toll Rd., is located exactly seven-tenths of a mile beyond the Super 8 Motel. You’ll notice the Mt. Mitchell Railroad plaque and the Burgin’s Chapel signs there. Take a left onto Old Toll Rd. Immediately it becomes Old Toll Circle. You may wish to park in the grassy area near the telephone pole and walk to the drive and up to the meditation hall because the drive is very steep. Or, stay straight, and we are the second drive on your left–219, Cloud Cottage. (See above for parking and bathroom instructions.)
OUR TELEPHONE: 828-669-0920
OUR SCHEDULE: Wed. 6:00-7:30 PM in the style of Thich Nhat Hanh (Please call if you wish instruction during the pre-sit at 5:30) at Cloud Cottage

Diamond Wisdom
Dhyana Yoga
Prajna Akasagarbha
Advanced Practices:
Medicine Buddha Dharma
Buddhist Healing Techniques
Black Furious Manjusri Dharma
Ucchusma Vajrapala Sutra
Dharma Instruments
Dharani Cover Mala Dharma
Treasure Vase
This Dharma has been used by many practitioners to keep their bodies warm in the cold Himalayan snows, and cool in the blazing heat of the Gobi desert.
The practitioner develops purity and stillness of being, which brings the body under the complete influence of the mind. When the mind is in complete stillness, the body will not change as the environment changes.
Practice the Outer Qi Generating and Releasing dharma for self-healing and to cultivate the ability to heal others. Learn to adapt to extreme weather with the body warming and cooling meditation techniques.

Prajna Akasagarbha
The Prajna Akasagarbha is an esoteric Buddhist healing dharma practice which literally means, \\\\\\\'wisdom hidden in the womb of space\\\\\\\'. This ancient dharma practice of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, which was hidden in China for centuries, is considered a key to enlightenment, valued for its ability to increase physical vitality and energy, and bring forth rapid spiritual progress.
In essence, it is a sequence of movements (mudras) combined with visualizations and a mantra that help to align the individual to the universe and awaken the sleeping seeds of Alaya consciousness in the body.
The 16 basic mudras, when practiced diligently, will help the practitioner experience the gravitational pulls of the heavenly bodies, grasp the rhythm of nature, and attain health, prosperity, and wisdom. It flows like water and moves slowly with great depth. It is fun to do and suitable for all ages and abilities. Wear comfortable clothing.
Medicine Buddha Dharma
The sanskrit name of the Medicine Buddha is Bhaisajyaraja. The Chinese call him Yao Shi Fo, the Tibetans Sangye Menla, and the Japanese Yakushi. He is a great Master who made many vows to alleviate the suffering of all beings. The Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light King Buddha Extinguishing Disaster and Prolonging Life Dharma is for healing, protection, and prevention of illness and disease, as well as for extinguishing disaster, extending life, and bringing forth good luck. Includes separate purifying techniques for food, water and air.
