弘揚佛法﹐ 以法供養淨化人心。
培育人才﹐ 以才布施行益社會。
秉承西藏佛教傳統精神︰三乘佛法為理門﹐禪修閉關為行門。理論和實踐融匯貫通﹔有條理﹐由次第修行。拼除習氣﹐正確思維﹐得清淨因﹐得清淨果。也是我們常說的﹕「諸惡莫作﹐眾善奉行﹐自淨其意﹐是諸佛教」。
以大寶法王為傳承法脈上師﹐以實修為起點﹕佛學知識為引導﹐禪修閉關為方法﹐禮請僧人為嚮導。引領大眾精進邁向成佛之菩提道。有正統的教法﹐才有確切的證悟。禪定的力量產生解脫的智慧 - 「般若」。「般若」把眾生從困苦中救度出來。
加拿大創古寺為配合都市人的生活節奏﹐靈活地舉辦短期﹐中期﹐長期的閉關活動﹐讓大眾感受禪修的真諦。
尊貴的創古仁波切在創古寺動土典禮時說﹕「加拿大創古寺是我重要的弘法中心」這說明了﹐仁波切將會花更多的時間留在溫哥華傳法﹐著述﹐並且通過傳法灌頂﹐講座﹐授課﹐和共修法會﹐讓佛法廣宣流布。並且培育弘法人才﹐讓佛法燈燈相續。
創古寺是一所植根北美﹐研究藏密佛學和實行學佛的道場﹐藉此籌備的建築階段﹐祈求佛菩薩加庇﹐龍天護持﹐仰仗十方善信鼎力襄助。
眾緣和合 紹隆佛種
正法久住 法輪常轉
大事因緣﹐正期盼您的參與
