They are as follows:
First, Master Jih-Chang attached importance to how education is formed, promoted Confucianism, enhanced the heights of laymen's spiritual achievement, established Buddhism as a career and strove to promote the "Lamrim chenmo” Buddhist classic. The monk’s educational thoughts were deeply influenced by the background and learning experiences at each stage of his growing process. With the "Lamrim chenmo” Buddhist classic as the core value of education, "Lamrim" is the basis for education to and carry out the "three-quantity and five-level" form of study, which is the main axis of the "Lamrim" education system, and the three major businesses in the foundation’s corporate structure. Leading different beings at the starting point of their lives through spiritual advancement, step-by-step, the trend of "increasing livelihood" can be reached to achieve spiritual liberation.
Second, in the discussion of educational enlightenment and practical application, Master Jih-Chang’s educational focus is on learning that infinite life needs to be continuously upgraded, and the three major efforts of the foundation "Intellectual Enhancement", "Cultural Education" and a "Compassionate Heart" are promoted. The principle was then created.Establishing a foundation to promote these three major businesses,the establishment of the "Bliss and Wisdom Buddhism Foundation" was for the "Bliss & Wisdom Lamrim Buddhist Classes", which led to the study of Buddhism at home, the promotion of spiritual enhancement, and the gradual resolution of the root of bitterness and unhappiness.The establishment of the "Bliss & Wisdom Culture and Education Foundation" was to promote Confucian education and establish educational courses at all stages to promote education and create a good learning environment.The establishment of the "Tse-Xin Organic Agriculture Foundation" was to promote organic pesticide-free business, care for healthy food, care for the environment, and the hope to maintain a healthy lifestyle and create a virtuous cycle of the
environment in which we live.
Third, in the practice of early childhood education, the volunteers, teachers, directors and concept planners involved, because they follow the late Master Jih-Chang and have learned a lot from him, so they wanted to keep following him and attain a higher level of authentic wisdom together while preparing for infinite life in the Bliss & Wisdom group.Because Master Jih-Chang practiced Confucianism in his early childhood education, they took the initiative to form a Miau-Hueh Preschool.Since teachers, directors, and planners have taken care of and unified the teaching plans, they have the prototype of Miau-Hueh education and 13 teaching plans for Miau-Hueh education.The integration of Master Jih-Chang’s educational thought into early childhood education is accomplished by experimentation, learning, and practicing.In order to learn from Master Jih-Chang about how to help everyone's spirit and promote Miau-Hueh education,the Foundation started from the establishment of a kindergarten, and then tutored other kindergarten transformations. Finally, it cooperated with the government to undertake joint education and non-profit kindergartens, so that Master Jih-Chang’s educational thought could shine in early childhood education.
Fourth, the contributions of Master Jih-Chang’s educational thought are as follows:
1. Care for the infinite life of all beings: Pointing out the "truth of infinite life" and expanding the horizons of life.
2. Create the academic system and learning mode for "Bliss & Wisdom Lamrim
Buddhist Classes".

advancement can true happiness be achieved.
