Master YongHua is coming to New York in this October.
Chan meditation is the most advanced form of Mahayana Buddhist meditation.
Passed down directly from the Buddha through his lineage of Patriarchs to
the present, the power of Chan Meditation has been taught to seekers of
enlightenment in Asia for thousands of years.
“Chan Meditation Beyond Mindfulness” presents these ancient skills to the
West in an accessible, easy to follow format so we call it "American Chan".
From the basic stretches to the all-encompassing foundations of Buddhism,
Chan Master YongHua will reveal the extraordinary method of Chan Meditation,
which can benefit all people, regardless of their religious affiliation.

A century ago, the unsinkable Titanic charged into a moonless night, full
steam ahead. Today, unless it changes course to escape its own icebergs, the
U.S. biomedical research enterprise hurtles toward a similar doom. The
fiscal year 2012 budget of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) buys
18% less research than in 2004. On 2 January 2013, budget sequestration
mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 could reduce NIH extramural
funds still further, producing a staggering cumulative 41% decline in a
single decade (in constant dollars, from 2004 to 2014), down to the level
that
NIH invested in 1997. In contrast, China’s governmental support for
biomedical research may double that of the United States, or even, in
proportion
to gross domestic product (GDP), quadruple it by 2017.*
In dollars, the contributions of NIH-supported research to human health,
jobs, and national economic growth far surpass investments budgeted by
Congress. The obvious inference: Investment in NIH should not shrink but
steadily increase, at a rate proportional to GDP. Instead, as grant dollars
shrink, institutions will be forced to curtail biomedical research
drastically, mimicking the recent layoff of 150 research faculty and
hundreds of other
employees by the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine.
Established researchers at rich institutions may survive, but many in the
rising
generation of young investigators and in small research programs will drown.
Institutions will further trim hard-money contributions to faculty salaries
and find it even harder to pay for and populate research facilities they
recently expanded. Competition for faculty positions, grants, and published
papers will grow ever fiercer. And the postdoctoral holding tank will brim
over, as myriad well-trained young scientists vainly seek research jobs.
Apparently unaware that the model for funding U.S. biomedical research is
close to collapse, key stakeholders in the biomedical research community,
like mythical Titanic passengers, busy themselves rearranging deck chairs.
We urge those stakeholders—faculty, academic administrators,
funding agency leaders, and (if it can) Congress itself—to unite to plot a
dramatically different course. Radical actions are called for that
distribute
scarce resources more efficiently, with a focus on helping the best young
and established scientists survive the present storm for as long as it lasts,
even if it means a substantial decrease in the size of their research groups.
Research institutions must discard their present corporate business model,
which is based on the assumption that federal funds to support research
programs will increase every year. Those institutions must invest more in
direct salary support for faculty scientists and less in bricks and mortar.
NIH should require institutions to pay a larger share of principal
investigators’ salaries (in increments, spread over time), and indirect
cost rules that
currently encourage universities to build labs rather than nourish their own
faculty must be changed.† Even more broadly, faculty, administrators,
research institutions, and NIH must work together to tackle knotty problems
of resource distribution, as we describe in the supplement.
Academic labs today depend on graduate students and postdocs to supply the
workforce that keeps them humming. This dependence, which generates
multiple potential competitors for soft-money positions and grants but does
not always train young scientists effectively, must be reduced by
implementing and further strengthening the recommendations of a just-
released report from NIH’s Biomedical Research Workforce Working
Group.‡
To devise effective local and national responses to the impending crisis,
new strategies must be implemented quickly. The status quo is untenable,
and the alternatives are dire: Failure to adjust to the new reality means
that stakeholders may be forced to scrounge seats in a lifeboat, or—like
the majority of Titanic passengers—drown.
