2023 Nov 6th & 7th, we are here in Abu Dhabi to participate in a pre-COP 28 Event, Global Faith Leaders Summit.
There is a distinctive practice included in the sutra, which is the recitation of the 42-syllable Mantra of Avatamsaka.
As we live this life, none of us could be pardoned from the suffering of birth, aging, illness, and death. How should we prepare for the last moment of death? At that time, we must be ready to relax, let go, and most importantly, be grateful.

As a matter of fact, folding palms is a way to stabilize our monkey mind so it returns to purity and stabilization. With a simple gesture like this, we start from ourselves to offer peace and stability to others.
By practicing the Water Repentance, the intention to contrite arises. We can see the faults in our actions. Next, we can resolve the conflicts with others through sincere contrition.
Heaven or hell exists in one thought. Likewise, the difference between Buddha and ordinary beings depends on one thought.
Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-2019), LJM is taking the following precautions
January 22nd, 2019, was the closing ceremony of the Winter School of the University for Life and Peace. My sincere thanks to the participating professors and students.
Today at LJM, there are the Tara statue and a Vairotsana Guan Yin statue from Mt. Putuo in our shrine hall. Guan Yin safeguards and guides us to see the clear light nature of the mind.
Guan Yin (Avalokiteshvara) has the greatest connection with us. Sentient beings in places flourished with Dharma are closely connected with Guan Yin.
Together, let’s aspire and accomplish the compassionate Dharma door of Guan Yin. By reciting the mantra, let’s dedicate the merit for world peace and the welfare of beings.
