Early July Practice

Early July Practice · A Cool Joy of Dharma in the Summer Heat

On July 12, 2025, in the midst of the summer heat, Mituo Village in North America held its first group cultivation session of the month. Despite the blazing sun and clear skies, the atmosphere within the Dharma hall remained serene and refreshing. Many practitioners braved the heat and arrived as scheduled. Under the compassionate guidance of the Dharma Master, everyone recited the Buddha’s name together, focusing their minds in sincere practice. The sound of the chanting was pure and melodious, cleansing and uplifting the heart.

This session was not only solemn and in accordance with the Dharma, but also deeply touching. The Dharma Master not only led the cultivation but also personally took part in the preparation work beforehand, bringing a sense of warmth and joy to everyone. After the session concluded, many practitioners stayed behind as volunteers. Some went to the kitchen, working in the heat to prepare a delicious vegetarian lunch for all. Others tended to the outdoor grounds, offering their sweat and effort to maintain the cleanliness and dignity of the temple.

In addition, practitioners from New York voluntarily helped repair the air conditioning system and upgraded the electronic equipment in the hall, greatly improving comfort for future summer sessions. Their selfless dedication truly embodied the spirit of supporting the Three Jewels and giving without seeking reward.

At the same time, we sincerely invite everyone to join the Seven-Day Intensive Amitabha Retreat, to be held from September 14 to 20, 2025, at Mituo Village. The retreat will be led by Venerable Master Deyì. For seven days, participants will focus wholeheartedly on Buddha-name recitation, establishing right mindfulness and cultivating pure karma. We warmly welcome all to register and plant the seeds of Bodhi together.
