The whole ashram wholeheartedly bowed down, offered incense, flowers, and food, and sincerely paid respects before the statues of Bodhisattvas, Great Bodhisattvas, and Three Jewels for making the ceremony to be successful.
Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen fellow practitioners sincerely pay homage to the Three Jewels, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Great Bodhisattvas
During the chanting period, of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen fellow practitioners joined in reciting the Breviary
Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen is solemnly located right at the foot of B'Nom Lu'Mu Mountain, which is considered the roof of Da Huoai District, Lam Dong Province, and also the land to converge the spirit of heaven and earth. The opening day of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen was set on the same day that The Venerable Buddha was born, the day when beings were guided by the Buddha's selfless light of wisdom and compassion to open the door to the liberation of suffering towards the path of enlightenment.
The entire ashram is dedicated to the ceremony in front of the statue of Maitreya Buddha
The path in front of the statue of Maitreya Buddha is where the Buddhist delegation of more than 200 people from Hue Nghiem Temple 4 years ago gathered to chant Buddhist prayers, officially opening the predestination for the opening day of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen
The reason for choosing the Lunar December 8th is that it was the day marking an important milestone of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen starting from the High Priest Thich Minh Dung led a delegation of more than 200 Buddhists from Huê Nghiem Pagoda to practice and chant Buddhist prayers right in front of the statue of Maitreya Buddha at Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen Inner Monastery.
The fellow practitioners solemnly celebrate before Sangharama as the opening day of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen is also the day of the statue of Sangharama was placed
It was the sacred event and moment on Lunar December 8th, the year of the Dog that was like a wake-up call for both yin and yang, echoing throughout the ten precepts of the will of the ten Buddhas: Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen would be an educated, dignified, pure, and accomplished ashram, the Three Jewels place for the Buddhists to study and live in the path of Righteousness, the Dharma of Amitabha Buddha, and the Pure Land practice to achieve the attainment of the Western Ultimate Bliss.
The fellow practitioners go to chant the Buddha and sequentially moved to the Kṣitigarbha Palace
In the solemn and pure atmosphere of the ashram, all fellow practitioners pray the Three Jewels, Amitabha Buddha, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Great Bodhisattva, guardians, Sage Monks, and gods residing at B'Nom Lu'Mu mountain to continue to lead the Buddhists to enter to study at Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen Ashram. Everyone has the belief that bodhisattvas are always standing, seeing, knowing, hearing, understanding, pitying, and supporting us and making sincere vows to pray for the Western Ultimate Bliss.
The masses reverently celebrate in front of the Statue of The Bodhisattva. Each fellow practitioner has the desire to be blessed with and supported by the Three Jewels, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, Great Bodhisattvas on the path of Pure Land cultivation
With the desire to create a predestination for the Buddhists to gather at the Three Jewels, the benefits for the hegemony are inconceivable and unthinkable. Therefore, the anniversary of the opening of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen is not only be an important event of the fellow practitioners of Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen, and it is not only in the current life but also a few hundred years, even a few thousand years from now. The posterity will also have the cause to come to Dai Tung Lam Hoa Sen to remember this day and the Buddhists every year to celebrate. As a result, the Lunar December 8th every year will become the day when Pure Land practitioners commemorate a milestone of sacred significance.
Since then, all of them have maintained their will to practice and their faith, happiness, vows, and intention on the way to maintaining the Buddhist network and transmitting the Pure Land Dharma to the Buddhists who have the grace to be born to the Western Ultimate Bliss when the end of this life is over.
NAMO WESTERN ULTIMATE BLISS WORLD GREAT COMPASSION CONTINUES TO LEAD MASTER AMITABHA BUDDHA!
