In honor of Jun Po Roshi’s BirthdayToday, April 14th
6:00 pm – 7:30pm ET (New York)online
Dedication
The body of pure dharma world neither appears nor disappears.
The strength of a compassionate vow brings life and death into being.
Revering the Buddhas, we aspire to have their wisdom shine upon us.
Bowing before the Buddhas, we aspire to have their true compassion embrace us.
Today we celebrate the great teacher Jun Po Kando Denis Kelly Roshi’s Birthday.
We, the sangha at Shining Bright Lotus Meditation Society, in offering incense, flowers, candlelight and sweet water and chanting the Hollow Bones Rinzai Zen Lineage chant, show our gratitude for his compassion.
May we, in calm, shining and perfect clearness practice and realize the subtle virtue of the wisdom of Mondo Zen.
Throughout the ten directions and the three times,
all Matriarchs, all Patriarchs,
all Awakened Ones, venerable ones, compassionate ones, great ones,
rely upon this incomparable transcendent wisdom.
