Serving the Three Jewels – Accumulating merits
Boundless harmony, peace, and joy are probably all feelings from deep in the hearts of Buddha's children when returning to Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen Pagoda to attend the Gratitude Ceremony of Compassionate Father Amitabha recently.

Throughout the Ceremony days, Buddhists and fellow practitioners who rely on the Buddha's Dharma diligently practiced in retreat periods of chanting, reciting the Buddha, prostrating, and always thinking about the Pure Land, the forty eight Great Vows of the Amitabha Buddha. 


All the merits, peace, and purity of the days of retreat practice, were sent by the entire ashram to all suffering beings in the void of the dharma realm, the nine immortals, relatives of many generations, and spirits from all over the worlds of tribulation to be allowed to take refuge in the Pure Land Dharma and practice to the Knowledge of Liberation to escape birth and death, and together ask to be reincarnated in the Ultimate Bliss Kingdom.

And after each retreat course of diligent perseverance, the masses all shared together the work of observing and dignifying the Buddha Hall with the desire to contribute a part of their efforts, body, and pure mind to serve sentient beings and make offerings to the Buddhas. Making solemn offerings to the Three Jewels is also the fact that the public was practicing the Buddha's teachings on generosity to beautify their own body and mind, thereby accumulating merit and increasing happiness for themselves.





In each work of cooperation, the masses share in the joy of serving the Three Jewels.

Temporarily putting aside the chaos of the work of the last days of the year to gather under the roof of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen to plant seeds of goodness and cultivate blessed fields, the masses worked together in the spirit of harmony of a "big family" to cultivate and raise the seeds of compassion, love, and wisdom with selflessness in each person's heart. 




Participating in the work of cooperation, the masses all share the same spirit of harmony, solidarity, and excitement

All of them understand that the devotion and the vow to make efforts to practice are the cause of the blessing of vengeance over the heavens. This is not only the veneration of the Three Jewels and the merit of offering to the Buddhas, but, above all, it is the awakening peace that is present every moment and the excitement and solidarity of the fraternity that has spread throughout the ashram.

With the participation in the work of merit, each Buddhist and fellow practitioner is a flower of incense offered to the Compassionate Father Amitabha on the birthday of the Immeasurable Enlightenment, contributing to the consummation of the Dharma.





The Buddha's children all serve the Three Jewels with reverence and mindfulness
 
The Gratitude Ceremony of Compassionate Father Amitabha taking place from December 9th to December 12th, 2022 (Lunar November 16th to 18th, the Year of the Tiger) ended successfully with full of joy in the hearts of hundreds of Buddhists and fellow practitioners.

Once again, Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen would like to sincerely pay tribute to the merits of the Buddhists and fellow practitioners! The Prayer of the Three Jewels grace gives you contempt, ordinary wisdom, peace of mind, and immeasurable happiness!

Returning to the Buddha Hall to express faith and pray for being born to the Ultimate Bliss
In the Great Pure Land Sutra, the Late Master Chin Kung explains that all worldly and out-of-world good things are attributed to the verse Amitabha Buddha, without leaving Amitabha Buddha. To recite the verse NamoʼMitābhāya is to recite the Ekayāna, and all good things converge.
