Dharma Classes Started at Buddhist Town at Holy Heavenly Lake in Hesperia, California

The first English-language Dharma Class at the temporary location of the Holy Heavenly Lake Xuanfa Dharma Center at 10161 Choiceana Avenue, Hesperia, California was held the first Sunday of the new year. Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche, the Abbot of The Holy Vajrasana Temple and Retreat Center is shown above giving a talk introducing both Buddhism and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III along with how you can start the path to liberation from the suffering and pain of Samsara.

Another class was held on February 2, 2020 where those attending listened to a rare recorded discourse in both Chinese and English by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on ”The Intrinsically Existing Truth of No Arising and No Ceasing in the Universe and in Human Lives Realized by the Buddha Was Not Created by the Buddha.” This discourse explains why Buddhism is not a religion per se like Christianity, Daoism, Judaism, Islam, etc. It also explains why the Buddha Master is here in this world in this age and time. He explains how and why He is not teaching anything different from what Shakyamuni Buddha taught as to core principles, but He uses a different method of imparting these teachings to us because of our unique karmic conditions. It is more succinct and to the point and suitable to those of us living in these Dharma-ending times. He is also correcting many errors that have crept into Buddhist sutras and commentaries over the 2,500 years since Shakyamuni Buddha taught on this earth.

The rinpoche will return to Hesperia every month to hold classes based on the core teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. CLICK for a list of what these classes will focus on.
