There are four great Bodhimandas in China: 1. Wutai
(Five Peaks) Mountain in Shanxi Province is the Bodhimanda of Manjushri
Bodhisattva, The Dharma Realm Buddhist Association has established four Bodhimandas in the United States and Canada, which will serve as the bases for the propagation of the Buddhadharma. 1. The City of Ten
Thousand Buddhas is Guanyin's Bodhimanda, with Guanyin Bodhisattva in
the primary position and Earth Treasury Bodhisattva in the secondary position.
The four great Bodhisattvas
have come to the Western nations to help the Buddha spread the Dharma
and teach the people, and to make Buddhism flourish. When all the people
believe in Buddhism, they can all dispel their thoughts of greed, anger
and delusion. With no greed, no anger, and no delusion, the Mind Ground
will shine, and the world will be in harmony, free of wars forever. If someone wants
to pay homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva, please come to Vancouver. To pay
homage to Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, please come to Seattle. To pay
homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva, please come to the City of Ten Thousand
Buddhas. To pay homage to Earth Treasury Bodhisattva, please come to Los
Angeles. I hope that all Buddhists will sincerely and reverently pay homage
to these four great Bodhisattvas, and diligently study the Buddhadharma. |
