法界佛教總會主席宣 化
率四眾謹啟

  • Based on a great wish to promote the stability and harmony of the world, to insure the able administration of the worlds' leaders, and to secure the peace and happiness of our nations, this Association has designated August 28, 1992 (the first day of the eighth lunar month) as the opening of a Water, Land, and Air Dharma Assembly at the Sagely City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Northern California. The celebration will last ten days, ending on September 6, 1992.
  • Furthermore, we honor the Buddha's teaching, and seek to continue his heritage of wisdom. In order to pass on the Buddha's precept lineage, and to purify our minds, influencing our thoughts towards goodness, this Association will transmit the Seventh Complete Precepts Ordination, from September 10 to September 16, 1992. On September 16, we will transmit the Five Precepts and the Bodhisattva Precepts to qualified applicants from the lay community.
  • The Dharma affinities of this Assembly will be most special and supreme. We hope to take across to salvation the souls of all those military soldiers from every country who fell in battle, as well as the to rescue from the wheel of rebirth ancestors and past kinfolks of all clans, as well as all sentient creatures in the Dharma Realm who inhabited the water, the land, and the air, and who may have died in tragic circumstances, in disasters, or in untimely ways. We wish to summon the lonely spirits that wander through rebirth, and let them enter the gate of liberation, to ascend the cool, refreshing ground of purity. We respectfully invite people from all walks of life, monks and elders of every religious persuasion, all virtuous people and faithful disciples, to come and support this Assembly. In this way we will establish vast affinities and grow in blessings and wisdom, so that all together can realize Unsurpassed Bodhi.
  • This grand ceremony will set up a long-life and a rebirth altar, and create opportunities for offerings to Sangha members. Hosts can invite the Sangha to speak the Dharma at special Dana banquets. People who wish to attend should notify us by mail well in advance of the opening date, or come in person to the offices of the Association. To avoid disappointment, as space is limited, do not wait to register for the ceremonies of your choice. Sincere applicants will certainly gain a perfect measure of merit and virtue.
