行禅法师，台中人，出生于1960年，台湾师范大学工业教育研究所硕士，曾任板桥亚东工专专任讲师。于1987年礼净行上人剃度出家，法名同慧，法号行禅；翌年（1988年）于基隆海会寺受三坛大戒。曾任中国佛教学院教务长、圆光佛学院等多所佛学院所教师，长期从事僧伽教育工作，培植佛教弘法人才。

Venerable Go Zen was born in 1960 in Taizhong. After completing a master’s degree in Industrial Education at National Taiwan Normal University he served as a lecturer at the Oriental Institute of Technology in Banqiao. In 1987 he took monastic precepts under Thich Tinh Hanh, whereupon he received the Dharma name Tonghui and the ordination name Go Zen (Xingchan). In 1988 he participated in the triple-platform full ordination ceremony held at the Haihui Monastery in Jilong. Over the years Venerable Go Zen has taught at a variety of Buddhist institutions, including the Buddhist College of China and the Yuanguang Buddhist College.

法师于1989年起，担任中华民国佛教青年会大专主任委员，定期举办全国大专佛学冬夏令营，从事大专院校佛学弘法长达20余年，弘法足迹遍及全台、东南亚及欧美各地。

2015年因净行长老圆寂前的附嘱，故行禅法师秉承师嘱，担任灵山文教基金会董事长，赓续推动灵山各项佛教弘法之志业，期能承师遗志，净化人心、行愿菩提。

In 1989 Go Zen began serving as the director of the College and University Division of the Chinese Young Buddhist Association, and thus has helped to organize its winter and summer Buddhist studies camps, which over the past twenty years have been held throughout Taiwan, as well as in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States.

In accordance with Tinh Hanh’s last bequest, in 2015 Go Zen was appointed the director of the Linh-Son Culture & Education Foundation, so as to carry on the work of “purifying the minds of men and practicing the way of awakening.”
