ntain Temp n Mou le (Ca gye nad Lin a)

The Lingyen Mountain Temple adheres to the bequeathed teachings of the Buddha. Our practice is centered on Pureland Buddhism with attention to propagating and observing Buddhist precepts; our aim is to purify the mind of the multitude and to build a safer and more secure society. We pray for world peace and national prosperity, for favorable weather and the well-being of people, for the light of Buddhism to shine even brighter and the Dharma-wheel to continuously turn. We wish to transfer our merits accrued herein and dedicate them as follows: May the Three Treasures forever dwell in the world; all of its citizens cultivate the holy path to yield blessings, wisdom and longevity. May all sentient beings in the ten directions of the Dharma Realm enter the sea of Amitabha's vows and ultimately achieve unsurpassed Buddhahood.
