A Public Lecture by Chan Master Sheng Yen at the Pennsylvania State
University
Chan starts from the root of the problem. It does not start with the idea of
conquering the external social and material environments, but starts with
gaining thorough knowledge of one's own self. (Chan Master Sheng Yen, 1977, See
