Auspicious Light Festival: A Sky of Flowers
Over 400 devotees came together for the deeply moving Chinese Puja as part of the Auspicious Light Festival, celebrating the extraordinary legacy of Master Tsongkhapa. The ceremony began with a heartfelt discourse by Venerable Jing Yuan, who reminded us of the immeasurable gratitude we owe Master Tsongkhapa for composing The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment—a profound, step-by-step guide to attaining Buddhahood.
The Puja concluded on a spectacular note, with petals of flowers gracefully tossed into the air, mimicking the celestial scene described when heavenly beings showered flowers upon Master Tsongkhapa as he entered nirvana. This powerful gesture symbolized a collective prayer for his return to guide and inspire us. May Master Tsongkhapa's compassion and teachings continue to light our path!
