\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Thank you, all volunteers, for the successful July event! It would not be possible without your participation and contribution!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We were able to host the 2023 Wiser Invitation Tournament with 12 teams from 5 countries, US, Canada, Japan, China and Taiwan. More than 800 people came to enjoy the summer festival for the two-day celebration of the Holy Birthday of H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, with a memorable lantern offering and water lantern releasing, carrying our wishes for the world peace and harmony!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0More than 150 volunteers participated in supporting the event, from reception, Wiser support team including the referees, the meals preparations, the booths, the ground cleaning, the safe guards. They came from all over, New York, San Francisco, Canada, Singapore, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei and more. With no prior rehearsal, everyone jumped right into the tasks assigned and work as a team like old friends.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The sales proceeds were voluntarily donated by each attending booth to World Buddhism Association Headquarters for the fund of True Dharma Temple. We were able to raise more the $50,000 (see the attached receipts numbers and amounts for each team)<\/p>

Holy Heavenly Lake is a place we can all come and enjoy. It is always open to all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
