Venerable Wayne Hughes (Slacker in SL)  and Venerable David Xi-Ken Astor 曦肯  will perform a The EDIG Puja for the Release of Compassionate Energy  This Puja  is performed on
behalf of any and all who are in need of compassionate thought and compassionate action.  The puja is offered so that members of the Buddha  Center Sangha realize their unbreakable connection with those
beings who are suffering and are empowered to make a difference through the Release of Compassionate Energy.  Qi, the connective force between all through the causal Universe is a real force, a
force revealed in karma, a powerful force that is capable of engendering positive effects through the causal karmic process of the Universe.

The Puja is performed at the request of anyone who recognizes a need in others that arises due to suffering.   Please leave the name of the person (or persons) in need of compassionate energy. The Center will provide a Puja “Box” into which you can type on a notecard the name of someone in need.
The day and time of each Puja Ceremony will be announced.

I am not limited by this body

I am life without boundaries

I have never been born

and I have never died

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars

manifestations from my wondrous true mind

Since before time, I have been free

Birth and death are only doors through which we pass

sacred thresholds on our journey

Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek

So laugh with me

Let us say good-bye,

Say good-bye, to meet again soon

We meet today

We will meet again tomorrow

We will meet at the source every moment

We meet each other in all forms of life

Thich Nhat Hanh
