Hi, welcome to the forum
Hope to see your postings
By the way have not heard an xiang chan, can you tell me more about it? Also who is your master? -
It's translated as AN-HSIANG CH'AN or AN-XIANG CH'AN from Chinese ˆÀ�ËâW.
Can I post the link here? The web site is in Chinese though.
My master is Mr. Keng Yun. -
No prob Post any links you like.

Thanks.
Here it is: AN-HSIANG CH'AN
However, I don't speak for AN-HSIANG CH'AN. I only speak for myself.
My experience is still very limited. Your advice is mostly appreciated. (�¿‘½‘½Žw‹³) -

'an hsing' as in 'resting in peaceful' ? Normally said to a dying person. ?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Thanks for the link, it is most interesting.

Nice to see you here. I think we'd met at E-Sangha, right?
As for your question, I don't think there is a word can really represent its meaning either in Chinese or English. 'An-Hsiang' may be the closest one in Chinese that means peace and composure. It's originated from the Lotus Sutra:
At that time the World-Honored One calmly arose from his samadhi
Where 'calmly' was translated from 'An-Hsiang'. In the Chinese version, the symbol 'Hsiang' has a 'yen' side that means spoken words. My master said that if we talk too much then it's impossible to be 'An-Hsiang'. So he changed it to 'heart' side as you can see from the above image posted by An Eternal Now, thanks to him, by the way. -

btw, it seems to me that it's a "shi" radical with a dot on top rather than a 'xin' radical. right?

Oops, you're right. It's 'shi' not 'xin'.
And thanks for the link. Now I know it's called 'radical'.
No wonder my cousin sent all his children to Singapore to study.
You guys' Chinese is as good as English.

i'm also careless too at time.
Depending, for me, listening to both is good. But my writing and reading in chinese is very weak. Prefer to write and read in english instead. And i prefer talking in chinese than in english.
