The King of Dharma, His Holiness Liang-sheng is scheduled to LA
Namo Amitabha!
Greetings to everyone!
We would like to thank everyone for your support for the upcoming year-end Emperor Liang Repentance Liturgy Ceremony at Purple Lotus Temple.
Since Grand Master Living Buddha Lian-sheng will be hosting a Hevajra Empowerment and Ceremony in Los Angeles on December 26th, 2009, we have decided to travel to Los Angeles to participate in the ceremony. Therefore, the following scheduled programs for the year-end events at PLT have been revised:
(1) The Christmas Hot Pot Dinner will still take place on 12/25/09.
Please call to register before 12/20/09.
(2) All the sessions scheduled for 12/26/09 will be cancelled.
(3) The morning session of Mantra Chanting will be cancelled.
The Emperor Liang Repentance Liturgy will start as originally
scheduled at 2:00 p.m.
Due to the great number of people travelling to Los Angeles for Grand Master's events, we will be renting a big bus for transportation. The departure time from the bay area will be around midnight on 12/25/09. The return time from Los Angeles will be around midnight on 12/26/09. No lodging is included in this trip.
The transportation fee is $70 per person.
Please register for the bus before the end of 12/14/2009.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Grand Master Lu's Dharma Talk at Seattle Lei Zang Temple, Redmond, Washington on October 17, 2009
Grandmaster continues the Platform Sutra, "All sutras and writings of the greater and smaller vehicles as well as the 12 canonical books have been devised because of men. If there were no people, all dharma would not exist. Therefore know all dharma exists because of people and sutras for their sake."
