All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Compassionate Venerable Master, All Good and Wise Advisors.
Amitabha. Tonight is Bhikshuni Jin Zheng’s turn to tie Dharma affinities with the assembly that has gathered for the Guanyin Session and also to honor Universal Worthy Bodhisattva’s Birthday.
My name is Jerry Hsu, my Dharma name is Chin-Jie. I come to the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas (CTTB) about two days a week from Fremont to help in the CTTB Building and Ground department on technology related projects. The drive takes about three hours one way. People often ask me if the drive is tiring, but it’s actually quite beautiful, and scenery changes with the seasons. Today I want to share a few stories on how I came to the DRBA, and a few stories I encountered at the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery and the CTTB.
Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master, Dharma Masters, and Dharma Friends, my name is John Vu. My Dharma name is Chin Dao. Today, I want to discuss the challenges and opportunities for propagating Buddhism in America and Western countries.
