His refrain captured the day%u2019s spirit: %u201cMay the ripples grow wider and wider, on and on, in perpetual motion. May the ripples continue to grow now that they have been set in motion.%u201d He connected this theme to Venerable Master Hua%u2019s arrival in America in 1962, invited by Madalena Tam, which then rippled out to Redwood Vihara and our present gathering.DRBU professor Doug Powers then spoke about Venerable Master Hua%u2019s revolutionary approach to bringing Dharma westward. He emphasized that Venerable Master Hua%u2019s mission transcended %u201cChinese Buddhism%u201d or even %u201cBuddhism%u201d%u2014it was about reconnecting humans with their essential nature. Doug presented three stained-glass images of Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva (representing lovingkindness and compassion), and Great Strength Bodhisattva (embodying joy and equanimity). Doug hoped that these images would inspire everyone to cultivate the four boundless hearts. He also emphasized the importance of rooting Redwood Vihara in the Chan ethos.The assembly then chanted %u201cOm Mani Padme Hong%u201d as they circumambulated into the Buddha Hall, where the sharira %u7dca%u63a5%u8457%uff0c%u9000%u4f11%u4e2d%u5b78%u6559%u5e2b%u5e03%u840a%u6069%u2022%u5eb7%u7f85%u4f0a%u4ee5%u97f3%u6a02%u5206%u4eab%u6709%u95dc%u62ef%u6551%u4e00%u96bb%u5c0f%u87f2%u6240%u9020%u6210%u5584%u610f%u6548%u61c9%u7684%u6545%u4e8b%u3002%u4ed6%u7684%u526f%u6b4c%u6293%u4f4f%u7576%u65e5%u7684%u6d3b%u52d5%u7cbe%u795e%uff1a%u300c%u9858%u6f23%u6f2a%u8d8a%u4f86%u8d8a%u5ee3%uff0c%u7dbf%u5ef6%u4e0d%u65b7%u3002%u9858%u6ce2%u7d0b%u5728%u5df2%u7d93%u555f%u52d5%u7684%u6642%u523b%uff0c%u6301%u7e8c%u589e%u9577%u3002%u300d%u5e03%u840a%u6069%u5c07%u9019%u4e00%u4e3b%u984c%u82071962%u5e74%u5ba3%u516c%u4e0a%u4eba%u61c9%u8b5a%u679c%u5f0f%u5c45%u58eb%u9080%u8acb%u5230%u7f8e%u570b%u76f8%u9023%u7d50%uff0c%u96a8%u5f8c%u4e5f%u5ef6%u4f38%u5230%u7d05%u6728%u79aa%u6797%u548c%u6211%u5011%u4eca%u65e5%u7684%u805a%u6703%u3002%u6cd5%u5927%u9b91%u679c%u52d2%u6559%u6388%u96a8%u5f8c%u8ac7%u5230%u5ba3%u516c%u4e0a%u4eba%u5c07%u4f5b%u6cd5%u897f%u50b3%u7684%u5275%u8209%u3002%u4ed6%u5f37%u8abf%uff0c%u4e0a%u4eba%u7684%u4f7f%u547d%u611f%u8d85%u8d8a%u300c%u4e2d%u570b%u4f5b%u6559%u300d%u751a%u81f3%u300c%u4f5b%u6559%u300d%uff0c%u4ed6%u5e0c%u671b%u4eba%u5011%u80fd%u91cd%u65b0%u8207%u81ea%u5df1%u7684%u672c%u6027%u63a5%u8ecc%u3002%u9b91%u679c%u52d2%u6559%u6388%u4e5f%u5c55%u793a%u4e09%u5c0a%u5f69%u8272%u73bb%u7483%u4f5b%u50cf%uff0c%u5206%u5225%u662f%u963f%u5f4c%u9640%u4f5b%u3001%u89c0%u4e16%u97f3%u83e9%u85a9%uff08%u4ee3%u8868%u6148%u60b2%uff09%u548c%u5927%u52e2%u81f3%u83e9%u85a9%uff08%u4ee3%u8868%u559c%u6368%uff09%u3002%u4ed6%u5e0c%u671b%u9019%u4e9b%u4f5b%u50cf%u80fd%u555f%u767c%u5927%u5bb6%u9577%u990a%u56db%u7121%u91cf%u5fc3%u3002%u540c%u6642%uff0c%u4ed6%u4e5f%u5f37%u8abf%u7d05%u6728%u79aa%u6797%u624e%u6839%u79aa%u5b97%u7cbe%u795e%u7684%u91cd%u8981%u6027%u3002 %u96a8%u5f8c%uff0c%u5927%u773e%u4e00%u908a%u5ff5%u8457%u516d%u5b57%u5927%u660e%u5492%uff0c%u4e00%u908a%u7e5e%u884c%u9032%u5165%u4f5b%u6bbf%uff0c%u820d%u5229%u606d%u656c%u9673%u5217%u5728%u4f5b%u6bbf%u4e2d%u592e%u8d70%u9053%u4e0a%u3002%u8b5a%u679c%u5f0f%u5c45%u58eb%u7d30%u8aaa%u5979%u5982%u4f55%u5f97%u5230%u9019%u4e9b%u820d%u5229%u3002%u5979%u5341%u4e00%u6b72%u7688%u4f9d%u4e0a%u4eba%uff0c%u4e26%u767c%u9858%u5e6b%u52a9%u4e0a%u4eba%u5f18%u63da%u4f5b%u6cd5%u3002%u4e0a%u4eba%u62b5%u7f8e%u5f8c%uff0c%u5c07%u865b%u96f2%u8001%u548c%u5c1a%u7684%u820d%u5229%u4ea4%u7d66%u5979%u3002%u4e0a%u4eba%u9080%u8acb%u524d%u4f86%u9999%u6e2fThree stained-glass depictions feature Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Great Strength Bodhisattva.%u4e09%u5c0a%u5f69%u8272%u73bb%u7483%u4f5b%u50cf%u5c55%u793a%u4e2d%uff0c%u5206%u5225%u662f%u963f%u5f4c%u9640%u4f5b%u3001%u89c0%u4e16%u97f3%u83e9%u85a9 %u548c%u5927%u52e2%u81f3%u83e9%u85a9%u3002 Brian Conroy shared a musical story about how small acts of kindness can create far-reaching ripples of goodness.%u5e03%u840a%u6069%u2022%u5eb7%u7f85%u4f0a%u5206%u4eab%u97f3%u6a02%u6545%u4e8b%u300c%u5584%u610f%u7684%u6f23%u6f2a %u300d%u3002
