For over 30 years from 1987 to 2016, Ven. Wei Chueh tirelessly spread [55]Chan Buddhism throughout the world. His vision was to inspire all people to return to their inherently pure and enlightened self. In Taiwan, he built the Ling Quan Temple, the [56]Chung Tai Chan Monastery, the Chung Tai Buddhist Institutes, the Pu Tai Schools, and the Chung Tai World Museum. With an unwavering determination to liberate all, he also established a global Buddhist community called the Chung Tai World, which is centered at Chung Tai Chan Monastery of Taiwan, with hundreds of thousands of members throughout more than 100 branch meditation centers worldwide. Buddha Mind Monastery is one of the eight Chung Tai meditation centers established in the United States. Flash back to 2002, the 3rd Annual Oklahoma Buddhist Conference was held at the University of Oklahoma (OU) by faculty members and students of Buddhist associations from OU, OSU, and UCO. At the conference, the audience had an opportunity to listen to several Dharma talks by a Zen master of Chung Tai Chan Monastery. The audience showed great interest in Zen and started to thirst for a monastery. They made a sincere request to Chung Tai for the founding of a meditation center in Oklahoma so that they can continue to learn Buddhism and meditation locally from the monastics for the long term. In 2004, after more than a year of property search, Buddha Mind Monastery started in a small church building and embarked on our founder Ven. Wei Chueh's vision: sharing Buddha's wisdom and practice and helping to bring peace and harmony to this troubled world. As the number of practitioners grew, the monastery then went through renovation, demolition, and reconstruction, to become a magnificent 18,000 square foot building with a unique "open hands" design to welcome all. Today, It includes a meditation hall, lecture hall, library, meeting room, and children's room, with 40 acres of natural landscape. The serene environment has attracted practitioners from many areas to meditate, cultivate their minds, and explore their intrinsic perfect nature.
