The institute is dedicated to offering everyone opportunities to practice Xiuxing.
The Xiuxing Institute will offer English translations of essays, discourses and dharma teachings of H. H. Dorge Chang Buddha III for everyone interested in learning and studying the Dharma. There are no requirements to follow a particular lineage or even become a Buddhist in order to hear these translations. There are no fees, although donations will be accepted.
In addition to offering the translations the Xiuxing Institute also has a weekly discussion group to discuss His Holiness’s discourse, “What is Cultivation?”
