A Relief Operation was immediately organized by the Buddhist Association. Under the leadership of BAUS secretary, Wayne Chang a delegation was dispatched to China in the fall of 1998. The Buddhists six-day vigil had produced impressive and tangible results. Said Mr. Chang upon his return from this exhaustive but productive trip, this was a difficult mission, but one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. In Preparation for the New Millennium the monastery celebrated 1999 New Year's day in optimistic mood welcoming the final year of the millennium with their new western friends and fellow people of faith.
Seasons make no difference.
Simply let them be. Feelings seem real but are a dream caused by ego. Only peace, purity and honesty can secure one's mind. Like jade and gold hidden in the stones, we are wrapped in affliction. Wipe out the defilements of the passion and wisdom within can be exposed.
