Amitabha Buddha of the western direction is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas. He is a disciple of the primordial Dorje Chang Buddha. When He was a practitioner during past lives, He made 48 great vows. After He became a Buddha, He created a magnificent Buddhist pure land, which is called The Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Amitabha Buddha is the founder of Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
To celebrate the holy birthday of Amitabha Buddha, the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters (U.I.W.B.A.H.), Hua Zang Si and Sanger Mission will jointly hold the Amitabha Buddha Dharma Assembly at Hua Zang Si in San Francisco on Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 9:30 am.
During the Dharma assembly, we will recite sutras and chant the holy name of the Buddha. Merit will be dedicated to the attainment of world peace, happiness and harmony of all people. It is our sincere wish that all sentient beings gain rebirth in a Buddhist pure land.
All believers from the ten directions are welcome to join the Dharma assembly. This is a precious opportunity for sincere participants to increase their wisdom and fortune on the path to Bodhi.
