"Sure, the parents can move into
retirement homes...but there is no kindred affection to speak of. They are left
on their own, almost all alone with no one
to rely on. It would be best for children to show filial devotion and care
for their own parents, allowing them peace of mind in the waning years of their
lives.,,. It is especially efficacious if humans can be filial to their
parents. How is that so?" --Earth Store Sutra, Preface. A Commentary by Ven. Master
Hsuan Hua
-
To our English readers: This is the Universal Door Chapter led
by the monks of CTTB. Though the chanting is in Chinese, you
may still follow the pin yin in the English-Chinese PDF file
[on our Calendar
page, under "The Gwan Yin Dharma Door" or on our
LBSM Posters page, under "Dharma
Flower Sutra".] The verses, which start about 1/4 into the
sound file, are particularly exquisite.
- You are always welcome
to join Long Beach Sagely Monastery's monthly Gwan Yin Dharma-door
ceremony which includes the same chanting and bowing to the verses
of Universal Door Chapter.
A note to local
students who whish to set up phone or in-person interviews for their
school projects: We'd be glad to help. Please call 562.438.8902

We are open to the public
during the times when we have Dharma events scheduled (usually on Sundays, from 8 AM to 2 PM). We
urge you to check our
calendar of events before planning a
visit.
Once a year
(usually
in June), when the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas holds its
ceremonies commemorating the anniversary of our Venerable Master
Hsuan Hua's Entering Nirvana, we
do not host local events but instead arrange for our laity to travel to CTTB
for the entire weekend.
Modest and comfortable
clothing will be more conducive to the activities in which you may wish to
participate, such as seated meditation, circumambulatory (walking) recitation and bowing.
You may wish to wear socks or stockings as visitors are asked to remove
their shoes at the front entrance.
樸實舒適的服裝將方便您參加打坐、繞念、禮佛等道場的活動。因須脫鞋，故建議您穿襪。
