A Brieft Introduction to Massachusetts Budhi Siksa Society Established in 1990 under the lead of Rev. Kuan Yit, disciple of the Hong Kong Buddhist leader Elder Ven. Yongxing, the Thousand Buddha Temple of Massachusetts Budhi Siksa Society is the first Chinese temple registered as a non-profit organization in the region. With the promotion of the traditional Chinese Buddhism to the interested people as the principal mission, the Temple is devoted to offering assistance to those who seek the path of Truth, and who come to gain inner strength. At present, there are series of dharma talks, chanting ceremonies, meditation courses and discussion sessions going on in the Temple. We also maintain a library of Buddhist texts in both English and Chinese, and publish children's books and dharma CDs and cassettes for free distribution. Further than keeping our members in contact through Bodhi Voice Quarterly, we seek to extend our care to the young, the elder and the poor of the community by providing scholarships, counseling service, and sustenance, as well as by raising funds for local and national contingencies. Following the example of the Buddha in His loving kindness and purity of mind, the Society welcomes all interested to join the rank to serve the community and propagate Buddhism for the benefit of all beings in the country. |
