I immensely rejoice towards Vajra Master Chokyi Gyaltsen of Taiwan Sakya Monastery. To care and benefit sentient beings in Taiwan, he overcame various hardships to construct Taiwan Sakya Monastery. I rejoice with all volunteers and supporters whom assisted in the building of the monastery. I wish for the swift success in the construction and boundless joy in the propagation of dharma!
From dharma’s perspective, the creation of an environment for learning and practise of dharma is of tremendous importance. If we do not possess such an environment, it would be akin to being trapped in darkness, where one would not be able to liberate from darkness. This means that we are not able to be liberated from sufferings. For a patient who wishes to receive treatment, he has to rely upon hospitals with adequate medical facilities and doctors. If we possess such conditions, we would be able to receive treatment. If we do not possess such conditions, we would not be able to receive treatment.
We are all very much aware of the current pandemic of covid, there are places without adequate hospitals, doctors and medical facilities, causing patients to not be able to receive treatment, resulting in the death of many. Towards patients, these medical facilities, doctors and hospitals are of paramount importance.
Similarly, to us and all sentient beings who are suffering in the depths of samsara, the environment to which we learn and practise Buddhadharma. For instance, monasteries, dharma institutes, teachers, especially those who teaches dharma are of paramount importance, and none of these conditions should be lacking. With these conditions, we will have the opportunity to learn and practise the Buddhadharma. We will then be able to transform our behaviour and transform our minds. Therefore, to us, if we wish to be free from sufferings, therefore, the conditions as mentioned before should not be lacking, thus it’s importance.
Therefore, I hereby wish our Taiwan’s Sakya Monastery, Vajra Master Chokyi Gyaltsen, I wish that all his dharma activities prevades thru space, benefitting countless sentient beings. Thank you!
