The founder of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association, the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua (Xuanhua), passed into the stillness on June 7, 1995, in Los Angeles. He was seventy-seven years old. The Venerable Master established the Sagely City of Ten Thousand Buddhas at Wonderful Enlightenment Mountain and was the Ninth Patriarch of the Wei-Yang School of Chan Buddhism. The Master's disciples of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association, in respectful adherence to his instructions, have convened a forty-nine day Dharma assembly for the all-day recitation of the Avatamsaka Sutra and the name of Amitabha Buddha at the Sagely City of Ten Thousand Buddhas and each of the associated Wayplaces. Moreover, they have reverently selected July 26 through 28 (beginning 7 AM daily) for holding a great three-day-long memorial assembly at the Sagely City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Cremation will take place on July 28. (People are sincerely requested not to offer flower wreaths or bouquets. Contributions will be used to propagate the Dharma, for education, and for translation of Sutras.)
