The Sutra Curriculum of the "Chi Mun" Year follows the pattern of intruction passed down through through the ages by the Elders of the Sangha, systemized in China in the 14th Century of the Common Era, and systemitized between the 14th and 17th Centuries in Korea. The Anthology of advice and teaching framework of the Elder Masters for those newly entering monastic life and Buddhist study is named "Chi Mun," thus the name for the first year of studies.
