Maitreya Bodhisattva Dharma Assembly
Maitreya Bodhisattva will attain Buddhahood in this Saha world to become, after Sakyamuni Buddha, the fifth Buddha in the era of the Bhadra Kalpa and, thus, has been respectfully referred to as “Maitreya Buddha”. He is portrayed as generous, open-minded, and benevolent with a bright smile. Therefore, people also refer him as the “Happy Buddha”.
To celebrate the holy birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva, the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters, Hua Zang Si, and Sanger Mission will jointly hold a Dharma Assembly to chant
The Precious Litany of 88 Grand-Name Buddhas on Sunday, February 3, 2013, at
9:30 a.m. at Hua Zang Si in San Francisco. The monastics will lead the attendees in a ritual to pay reverence and make repentance to the Buddhas. The Beseeching Blessings Lamps will be lit and offerings will be made before the Buddhas. The merit accrued from the dharma assembly will be dedicated to increasing the good fortune and wisdom and eradicating the karmic hindrances and disasters of all living beings. We will also pray for world peace, the safety of our country and happiness of our people. Everyone is cordially invited to join us and receive benefits from this event!
彌勒菩薩聖誕禮懺法會
彌勒菩薩是繼釋迦牟尼佛之後，未來將會在此娑婆世界成佛的賢劫第五尊佛，故被尊稱為彌勒佛。因其豁達大度，滿面笑容的慈愛形象，又常被世人稱為「歡喜佛」。
彌勒菩薩聖誕即將來臨。聯合國際世界佛教總部（U.I.W.B.A.H.)、華藏寺(Hua Zang Si)及聖格講堂(Sanger Mission)將於2013年2月3日（星期日）上午9：30，在舊金山華藏寺大雄寶殿聯合啟建《八十八佛洪名寶懺》法會。屆時將帶領大眾禮佛拜懺，並將於大殿内設光明燈供佛，舉行佛前大供。祈望以此功德為眾生祈福增慧，懺除業障，消災免難，祝禱世界和平，國泰民安。歡迎十方善信踴躍參與，共霑法益！
