“There are those who cultivate blessings but not wisdom—like an elephant adorned with ornaments; and those who cultivate wisdom but not blessings—like an arhat carrying an empty bowl.”

Dear Dharma Teachers and Dharma Friends, With the completion of this Sunday’s seven-day Buddha Recitation Retreat (Fo Qi), all group practice activities for Mituo Village in 2025 will likewise come to a natural close.
