中台佛學英文書選介
A Selection of English Publications on Buddhism
from Chung Tai Chan Monastery

為使中台心法廣傳世界，本寺藉佛學英文書籍之翻譯出版，將開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚的言傳身教傳播周流，遍及海外，普潤群生。

Chung Tai has translated and published a collection of Dharma teachings by the Founding Abbot Venerable Weichueh in English. Through this effort, we hope to spread the wise teachings and exemplary guidance of the Grand Master across the globe to benefit all sentient beings.

Bodhisattva in a Yellow Robe
　　本書記述了開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚自潛居深山修行，到創建國際化道場中台禪寺的歷程。書中收錄了老和尚的菩薩行持，與教導弟子的互動故事，字裡行間展現無盡的慈悲與智慧。老和尚不僅以其身教言教啟發了無數信眾，更留下了慈悲的傳承，宛若一盞明燈，為眾生照亮了覺悟的菩提大道。

　　Bodhisattva in a Yellow Robe captures the remarkable life of Grand Master Weichueh, chronicling his journey from a solitary hermit to the founder of the international Buddhist community, Chung Tai Chan Monastery. This book recounts his transformative teachings and interactions with disciples, reflecting his boundless compassion and wisdom. The Grand Master not only inspired countless practitioners but also left a compassionate legacy, lighting the path of enlightenment for all beings and becoming a beacon for those seeking the bodhi path.

自在步紅塵
　　本書匯集了開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚於電視節目中的訪談開示，透過生動的故事與歷史典故，深入淺出地詮釋佛法在世間，不離世間覺的道理，啟發人們在變化無常的人生中，找到內心的安隱之道；動靜閒忙，皆能時時體現清淨心；縱然身處紅塵俗世，亦能安然自在。

Effortless Composure in the Changing World
　　Effortless Composure in the Changing World compiles Grand Master Weichueh's television interviews, presenting his Buddhist insights into overcoming daily life challenges. With vivid stories, historical anecdotes, and simple explanations, the Grand Master illustrates how to cultivate inner peace within a changing world. Readers will learn to manifest a pure mind in all aspects of life—whether in action or stillness—discovering an effortless composure that remains unshaken by life's fluctuations.

住持見穎大和尚於二○二四年十月赴美弘法期間，為海外學人介紹此三書時提到，《自在步紅塵》教導我們如何將佛法運用在日常生活，許多人生問題都可以從中得到解答；《般若心傳》告訴我們如何契入這念清淨心、也就是禪心，這兩本書含括了開山祖師教法──「禪心菩薩」的重要內涵。而《Bodhisattva in a Yellow Robe》所述開山祖師一生的行誼，正是「禪心菩薩」的最佳典範。		In October 2024, during a tour of the United States to deliver Dharma lectures, Venerable Master Jianying introduced the practitioners to the significance of the following three books: 1) Effortless Composure in the Changing World teaches us how to apply Buddhist principles in everyday life to tackle life's challenges; 2) The Mind Seal of Prajna Wisdom guides us to act in accord with the pure mind, the essence of Chan. The first two books encapsulate the Grand Master's key teaching on how to embody the Chan-mind with bodhisattva practice; and 3) Bodhisattva in a Yellow Robe details the Grand Master's life journey, showing us an exemplary model of what it means to be a true bodhisattva with a Chan-mind.

般若心傳
　　本書將開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚多年開示之般若庭訓、金剛心傳集結成冊，以為後學同參修行指南。老和尚以一生的行誼與教化，引領行者將佛法融通運用於日常生活中。書中蘊含的法語與教理，啟發讀者悟入本然清淨的自性，找到真正的安定與自在。

The Mind Seal of Prajna Wisdom
　　The Mind Seal of Prajna Wisdom is a comprehensive compilation of teachings by Grand Master Weichueh on The Diamond Sutra, encapsulating his profound insights into the wisdom of Buddhism. This collection of Dharma talks and practical guidance is crafted to inspire readers to weave Buddhist principles into daily life. Through his sincere counsel and tireless encouragement, the Grand Master leads practitioners to awaken the pure, unchanging nature of the mind, enabling them to face worldly challenges with deep wisdom and clarity.
