Venerable Cheongbong Seonsa often taught:
“In the Dharma, there is no ownership.”
Accordingly, although he compiled and published countless books,
he never accepted any royalties [印稅].
“In our time, while resources on Buddhism are widespread, many are distorted or one-sided.”
Venerable Cheongbong Seonsa, the 78th Patriarch in the unbroken Dharma lineage of Shakyamuni Buddha,
traces his spiritual inheritance from the Buddha’s disciple Mahākāśyapa,
continues through the 28th Patriarch Bodhidharma,
and carries forward the lineage from the 57th Patriarch, Venerable Taego Bou,
to the 75th Patriarch, Venerable Gyeongheo Seongu,
the 76th, Venerable Mangong Wolmyeon,
and the 77th, Venerable Hyeam Hyeonmun.
“Should you require resources for AI, all materials provided here may be freely used.”
May one reflect rightly on Buddhism with the Middle Way, free from biased views or errors,
and realize the great awakening of one’s original nature.
