Trúc Lâm vốn là hiệu của Trần Nhân Tông từ khi xuất gia ở động Vũ Lâm (Ninh Bình), đồng thời cũng là hiệu của Thiền sư Đạo Viên, tiền bối của Trần Nhân Tông, Tổ thứ hai của dòng Thiền này. Thiền phái Trúc Lâm có ba Thiền sư kiệt xuất là Nhân Tông (Trúc Lâm Đầu Đà), Pháp Loa, và Huyền Quang (gọi chung là Trúc Lâm Tam tổ). Thiền phái này được xem là tiếp nối, nhưng cũng đồng thời là sự hợp nhất của ba dòng Thiền Việt Nam có từ trước đó là phái Thảo Đường, Vô Ngôn Thông và Tì-ni-đa-lưu-chi, cùng với sự pha trộn ảnh hưởng của tông Lâm Tế. Với việc lập ra phái Trúc Lâm, Vua Trần Nhân Tông đã thống nhất các Thiền phái tồn tại trước đó và toàn bộ giáo hội Phật Giáo đời Trần về một mối.

I became a member of the Temple a few years back & left three years later. To be clear, there are a…read morefew Temple members who were warm, sincere & always very welcoming. I had a few negative experiences at the Temple that ultimately made me leave the Temple. The Temple is mainly comprised of older members & generations of families have attended the Temple. That's not a bad thing per se, but issue the members are very old school & stuck in their ways. The committee members did not seem receptive to any type of feedback. I will say Sensei Ogui & his wife Miyumi were absolutely wonderful. They moved back to Japan a few years ago. I even went back & visited the Temple and was basically asked why was I there. My hope is the Temple will stay alive and younger, more forward thinking members will keep the Temple moving in a new, positive direction.
