To dear Monastics, lay Buddhists, and everyone,
We respectfully hear the Elder have taught, " Pay homage to
the World-Honored One, wh
is the Gentle Father of the three Realms, with his
loving-kindness, compassion, and wisdom
shines all over the directions. We who express our deeply
wholehearted hearts take towar
refuge in the Teacher of gods and human beings." Indeed, the
Sakyamuni Buddha, the Founder o
Buddhism, the path of enlightenment, loving-kindness,
compassion, and peace to the many righ
in the present life, has appeared in the world for more than the
past twenty centuries.
Wherever Buddhism has been spread, there Monastics, lay
Buddhists, and the local peopl
live more peacefully, gently, and better if they together learn,
understand, practice, and apply th
Buddhadharma into their daily lives to contribute to bringing
fruits and flowers of peaceful joy
and happiness to living things and living beings all over the
planet.
