繼程法師以輕鬆的口吻貫穿全場。從介紹三種世界觀開始。然後簡單清楚解釋因緣觀，讓我們了解到無常、無我的道理。不僅讓我們從知見上去理解這些道理、亦提醒我們在情緒上應如何開始調整，與生活結合起來。最後並綜合八正道解脫之道的修行原理做整個題目的歸納。請大家仔細聆聽。祝大家法喜充滿。

Topic: 放不下中的放下
──
法樂與俗樂是魚與熊掌，還是魚與腳踏車？
當年佛陀放下一切出家才證悟。若放不下對舒適、便利、快樂、美感、成就感的追求，我們是不是一定會離證悟愈來愈？求法是不是只是另一種追求？ |

 Carefree - The Secret of Peace of Mind (Thursday, March 30
2006)
This talk was about how to settle
down the mind, to be at ease under
whatever situation we are dealing with. With "carefree", we
have the
secrets of a peaceful mind and a harmonized self. With
"carefree", we have
comfortableness and security wherever we go. Wherever the body
goes, the
mind will be there as well. This is the secret we are going to
learn about.

法師徐徐道出身心不自在的原因,在於面對生活中諸如感情,事業,健康,生死等人生關卡時,
我們容易焦慮迷惑, 失去方向.
現代人更因人際疏遠,轉而追求物質上的享受與保障,卻反而更無安全感.

讓我們走到哪,安全舒適跟到哪.
李璨光生動的英文翻譯, 帶動會場活潑的氣氛.與會34位學員服用法師以軟言和語送服的『好自在』清涼秘方,
大家都法喜充滿. 會後中外學員發問踴躍,許多聽眾表示願意認識更多佛法.

十四位中外學員參加了初級禪坐班,法師由調身,調息,調心,清楚有次第的介紹及示範禪坐方法,並融合八式動禪,瑜珈,推拿,方便善巧的帶領初學者在動靜交錯中,學習身的調合與散亂心的調伏.法師的用心與細心,
讓幾位有打坐經驗的老學員溫故知新,學到前所未學,
受益良多. 4月2日,十位學員參與一日禪,
由法師監香,正式帶大家體驗禪坐.
間或引入行禪,跑香,吃飯禪.參加一日禪多是有經驗的學員,其中數位泰國學員在無寺院及常住的國外,非常珍惜法師帶的一日禪,有人坐到捨不得起座..
佛學社於3月31日至4月2日三天的晚間活動為佛法問答,拜大悲懺以及基礎佛法介紹.每天均有十多位菩薩參加。果謙法師以慈悲心及敬業心,帶領我們修行更上層樓.感謝法師專程從紐約來弘法，以及兩位菩薩辛苦護送法師。本次活動的籌劃,準備及順利進行,多虧眾義工出錢出力,再次致謝.
