New Moon Dharma Service

4 June 2008 – Venerable Miaoyu and Venerable Juehuan led about 30 participants to chant the ‘Marvelous Sutra of the Lotus Blossom – The Chapter on the Universal Gateway of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The congregation made a procession around the aisles in the Main Shrine while reciting the Bodhisattva’s name. Venerable Juehuan encourage everyone to learn and apply the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva method with compassion and wisdom. She gives an example of our Venerable Master Shing Yun that once when there was no water supply to the venue on the eve of an important even, the Master made a great vow that he would like to have his blood transformed as water for people’s need. And she stated that we should be carefully to deal with people and events that would not make compromises in our Buddhism practise as a kind of exchange in order to receive personal benefits.
