Hi Heshou, Kai, The Six Dimensions For Ten Thousand Deeds. 六度萬行 -- 布施，持戒，忍辱，精進，禪定，智慧 To grow our Lotus, we must get our feet wet in the mud.  A clean bottle of water, such as sitting at home, provides no mud. In Chan however, it is simpler in concept.  It is 離相修行，佛心印心。 Detach from all forms.  Sync heart to heart. Therefore we live every moment with Pure Heart, Equal Mind,  Harmonious Spirit.  清凈心，平等心，和諧心。 You see, no mention of any FORM. Thank you for asking.

I would translate them differently from the original Chinese text. I would translate the title to be "Six Dimenions For Each Encounter" These are six guidelines for us whenever we encounters some incident or someone. Not six steps, but six simultaneous dimensions for actions and mindset. 1. Be helpful - offer to help/resolve/satisfy as our first act, before our judgment/assumptions take over. 2. Be respectful - act on a equal basis with discipline and best foot forward. 3. Be patient - give time for each to resolve without hurrying time itself. 4. Be committed - firm on our intentions and actions to learn from this encounter. 5. Be still - not be affected by its outcome and without any expectation. 6. Seek wisdom - absorb the wisdom and move on. These are just personal interpretation which could be different from the mainstream of Buddhist teaching. In short, just throw away the labels and concept, and live with our best foot forward would be enough to transform our lives for the true, equal and the beautiful. JM .
