US Zen is currently in the final phase of obtaining the building permit for the new meditation center. We expect to receive its approval before this coming summer and break ground shortly after. If all go smoothly, we expect to finish the construction by 2020 summer. To ensure this project proceeds smoothly, we need all the support we can get. We invite you to be an active partner of this growth and mark your enduring legacy on these endeavors. 籌辦中的美國禪學院禪修中心的建築執照可望於今年春季通過當地政府的審核,建築物的興建即將於之後破土動工。 若有諸位的解囊相助,此禪修中心可望在2020年夏天竣工。詳細捐款手續敬請查看附上信件。我們殷盼諸位共襄弘法利眾之盛舉,攘臂捐輸,除了如佛經中所說佈施興建寺院是在家居士能夠累積的最上福德之外,相信此禪修中心未來能使更多人能在佛法中獲益。 |
