​​We are an association of Buddhist practitioners with the following beliefs:

We vow to realize Buddhahood as soon as possible.

​We cultivate in order to help others not to help ourselves.

​One of our major practices is filial piety: to repay the kindness of our parents, teachers and elders.

We specialize in the Mahayana Pure Land practice, hoping to obtain rebirth to Amitabha Buddha’s Western Bliss Pure Land, this very lifetime if at all possible.

We simultaneously practice Chan and Pure Land. we utilize the Chan training technique in order to increase our samadhi (concentration) power when we recite the Buddha’s name.
