We will start Sunday’s class at 10:00 am at 10161 Choiceana Avenue, Hesperia, California with a few chants and a short meditation. Then we will listen to a rare recorded discourse in both Chinese and English by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on ”The Intrinsically Existing Truth of No Arising and No Ceasing in the Universe and in Human Lives Realized by the Buddha Was Not Created by the Buddha.” It is a wonderful introduction to the text “Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra” that we will continue studying this year at the Holy Heavenly Lake Xuanfa Dharma Center along with other texts and discourses by His Holiness.
This discourse explains why Buddhism is not a religion per se like Christianity, Daoism, Judaism, Islam, etc. It also explains why the Buddha Master is here in this world in this age and time. He explains how and why He is not teaching anything different from what Shakyamuni Buddha taught as to core principles, but He uses a different method of imparting these teachings to us because of our unique karmic conditions. It is more succinct and to the point and suitable to those of us living in these Dharma-ending times. He is also correcting many errors that have crept into Buddhist sutras and commentaries over the 2,500 years since Shakyamuni Buddha taught on this earth. CLICK for more on the discourse listed above.
