2013 Whittier Winter Retreat Handbook.
Here it is folks, the team at Hsi Lai Temple with the Whittier College, our 2013 program.
2013 Whittier Winter Retreat Handbook
"Prajñācāra" is the "practice" of "knowledge" or "wisdom". It refers to the practice of Mahāyāna Buddhism, from the line “prajñā-vara-pāramitāya caryā”, “the practice of the perfection of excellent knowledge” in the Ratnaguṅasaṃcaya-gāthā, a commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā. Here I wish to share some of my thoughts and writings on Buddhist thought and practice. I hope that this may be of benefit to all, in the long path from saṃsāric existence to the other shore of nirvāṇa. ~~ Shì Hùifēng

2012 HBMLP Chanting (Evening, Meals, 88 Buddhas Repentance, Amitabha Pure Land) (Chinese, Pinyin, English).pdf
Just recently compiled for the 2012 Humanistic Buddhism Monastic Life Program, aka the "Woodenfish", this Chanting Book contains the original Chinese, Hanyu Pinyin and English translation for the following common Chinese Buddhist liturgies:1. The Heart Sutra (which we use as our standard evening chanting)
2. Meal time offerings (breakfast and lunch, with the Five Contemplations added)
3. The Amitabha Sutra (standard Pure Land service)
4. The Eighty Eight Buddha's Repentance
Some of these have appeared on my Blog independently, so there may be some duplication. Still, hopefully this latest file should be useful for some of you out there! Enjoy!
[2012-08-19 Update: After actually using this document for the 2012 HBMLP I realized to my horror the huge amount of errors inside. Apologies to all. Corrections have been made here, though I suspect that many still remain.]

Hrdaya Prajnaparamita Skt-Chn-Eng Word by Word (Heart Sutra)
(Up-dated 2011-12-24)
Having a lot of people on internet Buddhist Forums look for this sort of thing, I thought I'd make a file with all the essentials. The file has the basic Heart Sutra (the standard east asian one from Xuanzang, not the later and longer version), along with the Sanskrit version, broken down word for word, with the Chinese and Sanskrit matched up. Each "word" has a basic English translation. And then each section has a complete translation in English, too.
Excellent for those people who like to study the Chinese or Sanskrit versions of the sutras they commonly recite.
Happy reading! :)

Mahāprajñāpāramitā Mahāvidyā Sūtra 摩訶般若婆羅蜜大明咒經 - English tr.from Kumārajīva's "Heart Sūtra"
Mahāprajñāpāramitā Mahāvidyā Sūtra - Kumārajīva translation
Mahāprajñāpāramitā Mahāvidyā Sūtra - Kumārajīva translation
Most people in east asian Buddhism are familiar with Xuanzang's translation of the Heart Sutra, the one that is usually memorized, recited and everything else! Few know, however, that well before Xuanzang's translation, there is an earlier one from Kumarajiva.

Great Compassion Repentance (大悲懺 Dabei Chan) - Chinese, Pinyin, English Translation
A full English translation, along with Chinese and Pinyin to chant along!, of the classic Chinese Buddhist Dharma Service known as the "Great Compassion Repentance" (大悲懺 Dabei Chan).
Hopefully I shall be working on a newer version of this file soon, to make the Pinyin system better, including adding the various tone-marks. Stay tuned!
