Visitors to the Viet-America Buddhist Association of Memphis got to feel the energy of what some call a once-in-a-lifetime experience – an exhibit of relics of the Buddha.

The Maitreya Relic Tour has visited Memphis, TN. Perhaps the stories of participants describe the experience best:
Please accept my gratitude and thanks for bringing the Heart Relic Tour to Memphis. I wish we could have met, but you had gone home when I arrived on Saturday. Please extend my deepest gratitude to those accompanying the Relics. I had the the most profound religious experience of my life . The Relics are beautiful and powerful. Just being in their presence is in it's self a profound experience and being blessed with the Relics of Shakyamuni Buddha was an experience for which I have no words. The Love and Compassion of Lord Buddha seemed to flow into me during the blessing. Almost as if Lord Buddha Himself was placing His Hand on my head.

It is the most wonderful and profound experience of my life and I am grateful to the Viet-America Buddhist Association Of Memphis Tennessee and Chua Pho Da Temple for hosting the Relics so that many can be blessed by their presence. Please extend my thanks to the Maitreya Project and the most kind, Venerable Lama Zopa Rinpoche. I have no words to explain the depth of my experience.
