Venerable Master Jinghui's meditation advocacy emphasizes the following key points:

Mindfulness: Venerable Master Jinghui stresses the importance of mindfulness, which involves maintaining present-moment awareness and focus. Through mindfulness, individuals can better understand their inner selves and external environment, leading to mental tranquility and clarity.

Zazen: Zazen, or seated meditation, is an important form of meditation advocated by Venerable Master Jinghui to cultivate inner calmness and awareness. Through Zazen, individuals can observe their breath, bodily sensations, and thoughts, gradually realizing the nature of their minds.

Wisdom of Prajna: Venerable Master Jinghui emphasizes the importance of the wisdom of Prajna, which goes beyond surface phenomena to insight into the essence and truth of things. Through practice and meditation, individuals can cultivate the wisdom of Prajna, transcending afflictions and confusion.

Compassion: Venerable Master Jinghui advocates for cultivating compassion, which involves caring for and empathizing with others. Compassion is a significant concept in Buddhism, and through compassion, individuals can transcend self-centeredness, help others, and promote harmony and peace.

Life Zen: Advocating for a life philosophy centered around "awakening to life and    dedicating to life," Life Zen promotes the idea of "practicing in life and living in practice." Initiatives like the "Life Zen Summer Camp" have enabled numerous individuals to explore and understand Zen, benefiting from its wisdom, serenity, compassion, and liberation.
