Dear Friends in Dharma:
We are pleased to inform you that after much effort over the last 3 years, the Avalokitesvara statue construction and installation project has been successfully completed. The statue, crafted from granite stone, is considered to be the largest of its kind in the state of Texas. This is a great source of happiness for all of us. We would like to thank you very much for your kind helps and supports given to this project. The spring 2020 is coming and the weather becomes warmer, we would like to take this chance to invite you to visit the great Buddha of peace and compassion; and together with us, we pray for peace and well beings for ourselves and for the world. Your visit will be of great honor for all our members; and will go a long way to help establish the first Buddhist zen monastery in Mckinney, Texas. May you be well and happy. Sincerely, Zen Master Venerable Khai Thien - Thich Tam Thien, Ph.D. * Dharma Friends from outside of Texas who are planning to visit us, please contact us at 214-856-4636 so we can plan for your arrival and hotels. |
