Appendix A: The Great Dharma of Zen Practice – Thus Have I Seen

        In March 2013 H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III transmitted the Great Dharma of Zen and gave a discourse on the nature of zen and how it should be practiced. This is an English translation of that dharma discourse. It does not include the mantras that were transmitted that increase the effectiveness of practice although you can receive benefit from practicing it without them. I can transmit two of the mantras to qualified disciples, but you need to receive the third by means of a higher transmission.

        Below is the complete content of “The Great Dharma of Zen Practice” expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This is a transcription of a discourse on dharma given impromptu.
