🙏 Greed, anger, ignorance. The Buddha called them the three poisons — and they are the root of all suffering.
But he didn't stop there. He left a precise antidote for each one: morality, meditation, and wisdom. And the deepest wisdom? It's already inside you. It just needs to be uncovered.

Ultimately, changing oneself is the most effective use of our energy. The world is only as good as the lens through which we view it. —Master YongHua

What would change in your life if you changed the lens you see it through? More teachings like this can be found in Chan Handbook II by Master YongHua. 📖 https://a.co/d/9fIeifa

One retreat ended. Another began.

Last weekend at Dharma Treasury Temple, we completed our GuanYinQi — days of sincerely reciting the name of Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. And without pause, we opened the doors to FoQi — a retreat dedicated to reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha, Emituofo.

Master YongHua teaches Pure Land the American way — not out of desperation, but with vigor and determination. That is what we cultivate here.

We will continue until June 20th. 🙏🌸

Last weekend at Dharma Treasury Temple, something quietly significant happened.

We had been reciting the name of Guan Yin — the Bodhisattva of Compassion — for days. The GuanYinQi retreat is a practice of returning, again and again, to that name, letting it settle the mind and open the heart. And when it ended, there was a natural stillness in the room. The kind that only comes after sustained, sincere effort.

Then, without missing a beat, we began the FoQi.

Now we recite Emituofo — the name of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. Master YongHua teaches Pure Land the American way — not out of desperation, but with vigor and determination. That is what we cultivate here.

We will continue together until June 20th. 🙏🌸

This is what Vesak looks like at Dharma Treasury Temple.

The temple was filled with flowers and light. One by one, people approached and bathed the Buddha — a simple gesture, sincere and full of meaning. A moment to remember why we practice and what we are cultivating together.

After the ceremony, we shared a delicious meal and sat together for a Sutra Lecture by Master YongHua.

Joyful. Warm. Community.

Happy Vesak to all. 🌸🙏

🙏 Evil doesn't arrive all at once. It spreads — like a snowball rolling downhill.
Master YongHua reminds us that what we do here, however small it may seem, is swimming against that current. It's not easy. But someone has to do it. And as long as people do, there is hope for future generations.

Give your best. Then learn to be happy with what you get.
Master YongHua calls this a secret of happiness — and in this Tea Talk he explains why clinging to what we don't get doesn't just hurt us, it affects everyone around us too. Expectations are normal. Even unreasonable ones. What changes everything is how we handle the disappointment.

🙏 The drink, the new car, the perfect meal — they move the mind. And what moves, stops.

Master YongHua points to a different kind of happiness: the stillness that needs no reinforcement. No drink. No applause. No next thing. It simply remains.
