May 18, 2025 – Buddha Bathing Festival Dharma Assembly
We express our gratitude to the Supreme Guru and the lineage masters of all generations, who, with the union of compassion and wisdom, have upheld an unbroken Dharma lineage. They have continuously transmitted the 84,000 Dharma teachings revealed by Shakyamuni Buddha, guiding countless sentient beings on the path to liberation so that those with sincere hearts may attain the ultimate fruit of true happiness.
Our revered First Patriarch—Shakyamuni Buddha more than 2,500 years ago, manifested through an extraordinary emanation and demonstrated the Twelve Great Deeds in this world, adapting to the capacities of sentient beings and benefiting countless beings without limit.

    Third Great Deed: Manifesting birth into the world
    Fourth Great Deed: Manifesting mastery of skills and arts
    Fifth Great Deed: Manifesting enjoyment with consorts and a child

Light offering prayer

Light Offering Prayer  by Atisha 
 
After lighting a candle or an oil lamp or any lights, the prayer should be recited in conjunction with the visualization.
 
May the vessel of the light be equal to the three thousand worlds
Aand their environment,
May the wick of the light be equal to the King of Mountains ( Mount Meru).
May the oil of the light be become the Ocean of boundless .
May there be billions of trillions of lamps in the presence of each and every Buddha.
May the light illuminate the darkness of ignorance of all sentient beings
From the peak of samsara down to the lowest hell,
Whereby they can see directly and clearly all the ten directions Buddhas
And bodhisattvas and their pure lands.
 
OM VA-JRA A-LO-KE AH-HUNG
 
 EH MA HU
 
I offer these beautifully exulted clear and luminous lights
To the thousand Buddhas of the fortunate eon,
To all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the infinite pure lands
And of the ten directions,
To all the gurus, idems, dakas, dakinis, dharma protectors
And the assembly of deities of all mandalas.
Due to this, may my father, mother and all sentient beings in this life
And in all their future lives,
Be able seeing the actual pure lands of the complete and perfect Buddha directly,
May we become no difference with immeasurable light Buddha, 
Due to the power of the truth of the Triple Gem and
The assembly of deities of the three roots.
Please bless me and all sentient beings quickly attain achievements.
 
TA-DE-YA-THA,  PAN-TS  GA-DRI A-WA BUDDHA NA-YA  SOHA
 
The light transforms into single brilliant five-bright-color wisdom.
On a lotus and moon disk the syllables OM and DHI appear.
From them, one hundred and eight beautiful goddesses of light, appear, wearing beautiful garments and precious garlands.
Every goddess holds a light  in her hands and from them
Emanate billions of trillions of infinite replicas of light-offering goddesses.
All of them make light offerings uninterruptedly
To all the Buddhas in the Buddha fields throughout the entire space,
To all  peaceful deities and wrathful deities.
 
Thus due to the merits of having made such a light offering.
May all the deceased, the benefactors, and migrating beings of the six realms benefit, May all their degenerated samaya and broken vows be restored,
 
May all obstacles of realization be eliminated
May the obstacles of negative karmas and sins be eliminated,
May the three realms of reincarnation become empty.
Please grant Governance power and Enlightenments.

​Every day our mind is disturbed by many things. Things we see, people around us, things that we have to do, or words that people said to us.

If your mind disturbs by things happened in the past, worrying your future, or not sure what is good to do to make improvement.

One object meditation will help you let go of all mental discomfort and maintain inner peace.

Inspire Buddha's teachings will help us understand cause and effect. So we will stop blaming and make better choices.

All our efforts by adopting mediation and experiencing Buddha's teachings, we will gain self-confidence and hope to deal with problems and achieve inner peace and become happier.

What are the benefits of hearing the Buddha's teachings? 聽聞佛法的好處?

Through hearing,
Phenomena are understood,

Through hearing,
Wrongdoing is overcome,

Through hearing,
What is meaningless is eliminated,

Through hearing,
Nirvana is attained.

Everone is wlcome to join Sunday's service.
- Message from Vallerie Vallas
I’ve always had an interest in Buddhism.  Then one day at Pasadena City College.  I noticed a flyer that said “free Buddhist classes in San Gabriel.”  I decided to attend. After years of attending, what I learned truly changed my life.  The biggest change was finally obtaining some inner peace.  The mantras are very powerful. I recite them daily and they always have a calming effect.  It was interesting, but with inner peace came insight. 

I found the benefits of Buddhism to be threefold:
1. Inner peace
2.  Becoming more compassionate
3.  Learning the importance of accumulating merit


These benefits allow an individual to grow as a person, move forward and enrich their life.



​Human Purpose                                                  Overcomes Negatives 対治烦惱 ​
​人生目的 

Do  human beings have purpose? Yes! We can be a better person and be come happier.  We can work hard to end suffering. We also can become a Buddha within this lifetime.人生目的: 活得更开心, 更富有, 更有權威利益他人.也可断痛苦出輪迴, 發菩提心及一生中成醒盛(佛).
Pride, anger, and envy are negatives that we need to overcome.
