Buddhist Service / Ceremonies
Dharma Jewel Monastery will hold a Eighty-Eight Buddhas Repentance Ceremony on June 15, 2025 at 9:15am - 12pm. We will chant the Universal Gateway of Avalokitesvara (Chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra). This mindfulness chanting meditation reminds us to purify our mind and thus deepen our compassion and uncover wisdom within. We sincerely invite everyone to attend this event - recitation is in Chinese with English transliteration and translation. All are welcome. Free vegetarian lunch follows (may be on hold due to Covid). We need to profoundly understand cause and effect. By leaving the bad habits forever and upholding the precepts prudently, we can purify our mind and obtain wisdom. Concentrating our mind on kindness without movement (delusion) is called Samadhi.
