Spring Festival 2026 Day 6
May 27, 2026
We must develop irreversible faith and trust in the three Jewels. The refuge prayer is our mind determining to apply effort to rely upon the three Jewels. We don’t want to be like a parrot just making sound. Actual protection is Dharma in our heart.
The temple is full of dedicated practitioners from around the world meditating in two final sessions on deepening our mind of compassion until it transforms into the compassion of a Buddha. In this way we awaken our Buddha nature - wishing to attain Enlightenment for all living beings.
