Between Teachers and Disciples
Episode 7: Refined Practice in Daily Life
In Taiwan, Master Sheng Yen promoted Chan Buddhism based on his own experience in guiding Chan practice in America.

Under his strict guidance, his disciples and students gradually develop a solid foundation for the cultivation of Chan.
