Upcoming Event: Buddha's Birthday Commemoration

Buddha's Birthday

I take refuge in the sacred Buddha who descended to this earth through the great causal conditions (一大事因緣).

I take refuge in the sacred teachings that guide us to walk the beautiful path, freed from the bonds of samsara and the fetters of karma.

"Be a light unto yourself; the Dharma is your light." (Buddha)
