Rainbow Over the Buddha Hall

Published：2015/02/04 News & Activities Views：1206

February 1, 2015, was a Sunday. Early in the morning, the Buddhist practitioners from New York gathered at the temple to study. With sincere devotion, they offered their respect to the Buddha and recited prayers, their voices merging into a sea of harmonious chants, filling the space with joy and bliss. After the recitation, the Venerable Master gave a teaching. His words were direct and profound, simple yet insightful, and sprinkled with humor. The temple was filled with laughter and applause. The DAMI community had received good news, and the joy and happiness were beyond words. We are grateful to our esteemed teacher and to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!

After the study session, as everyone stepped outside, we found that the sky had cleared, and the sun was shining. The air felt fresh, and our hearts were uplifted. Looking up, we saw a rainbow above the temple—what a beautiful rainbow! It arced gracefully in the bright blue sky, creating a vibrant and refreshing scene that lifted everyone’s spirits.
