Influences<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each person practising under Celestial Platform<\/em> comes from different backgrounds and shares the same horizon: promoting a collaborative non-sectarian approach through the lens of the Lotus S\u016btra, the Vinaya, and the Bodhisattva Precepts.

We bring the influence of diverse teachers, mentors, and sources that we have personally learned from or who have had significant spiritual impact upon us.

Where the Vinaya is upheld and the S\u016btras are preached, the resulting transformation, the Dharma, will be sustained for future generations.

With great compassion, it is our teachers who have preserved and made the Dharma both apparent and relevant in our lives. The root teacher and role models whose footsteps we follow are \u015a\u0101kyamuni Buddha and the Great Bodhisattvas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
