The Holy Miracles Temple welcomes the Birth Celebration Ceremony of Amitabha Buddha.
(Reporter Yang Tuo/Los Angeles) The Holy Miracles Temple in Southern California held a grand ceremony on Sunday to celebrate the Birth Celebration of Amitabha Buddha. Co-hosted by the World Buddhist Headquarters, the Holy Miracles Temple, and the Holy Grace Hall, hundreds of believers from various regions of California and overseas attended.
The ceremony began at 10 a.m., presided over by the Vice Chairman of the World Buddhist Headquarters, the Venerable Jin Kou Er Duan Sheng De Zheng Da, and led by the monks including the Venerable Jin Kou Yi Duan Sheng De Ruo Hui Yu. The congregation chanted the "Amitabha Sutra" with great reverence, made offerings before the Buddha, recited scriptures, praised the virtues of the Buddhas, prayed for the auspiciousness of the Buddha's Birth, and wished for the blessings of Amitabha Buddha and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from all directions, to increase the blessings and wisdom of all sentient beings, promote health and longevity, national prosperity and people's well-being, and world peace.
In addition to hosting the Birth Celebration Ceremony of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Holy Miracles Temple is also open to the public on regular days. Many residents and groups in the community like to visit the temple to worship and learn about Buddhism. For example, students from Mayfield Senior School near the Holy Miracles Temple visit the temple to learn about Buddhist culture. The care and influence of the Holy Miracles Temple on the local community transcends age, ethnicity, culture, and the barriers between Eastern and Western beliefs, becoming a force for stabilizing the hearts of the community.
