News and Events

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is Buddha’s Joyful Day. It is a day for us to express our gratitude to our relatives and do meritorious deeds for our ancestors, elders, relatives, friends, and karmic creditors from this and past lives to resolve past grievances. Although the format of the event has changed due to the pandemic, what remains unchanged is everyone’s sincere respect. The online live broadcast of the event can cross national borders, and anyone can receive the special blessings from the event whether day or night. We thank the volunteers for making this possible. Although we cannot be physically together, our hearts remain connected and the energy from our sincere chanting will spread infinitely.

"Vision of the Eastern Paradise" by Grandmaster JinBodhi "My vision of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World is an endless azure blue, like the vast ocean and seemingly infinite universe. In my vision, the blending and overlapping of each stroke of blue signifies the birth of a Buddha World. May all who see this painting receive blessings from the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World and be free of all suffering and obstacles. May all who own a copy of this painting be blessed with good health, wisdom, prosperity and auspiciousness!" – Extracted from Grandmaster JinBodhi’s Facebook Page

During this epidemic, Grandmaster JinBodhi has been very concerned about the living conditions of his disciples and Bodhi practitioners. In consideration that food procurement may be difficult and inconvenient during the pandemic, Grandmaster had instructed all meditation centers to make provisions of masks and some non-perishable food items for those in need.
