Reported by Lotus Lihua, TBSN

As the final Feast Offering Ceremony concluded in the early hours of June 14, 2026 (midday June 13, Seattle time), the Global Online Grand Ceremony of Namo Amitayus Feast Offering for Guru Buddha to Remain in the World and Prayers for World Peace, organized by the True Buddha Foundation, concluded successfully and auspiciously.

This year’s event shattered all previous records, with an unprecedented 167 cultivation venues worldwide participating in wholehearted support. From Taiwan Lei Tsang Temple, Zhongguan Temple, Indonesia Lei Tsang Temple, and Federal Tantric Buddhism Chen Foh Chong Malaysia to Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple in Seattle, True Buddha disciples around the world transcended the barriers of time zones and geography, joining together through cloud-based technology. More than simply a ceremony of unprecedented scale, it became a historic moment demonstrating the extraordinary unity and collective resonance of the True Buddha School.

Putting Grandmaster’s Teaching into Practice: Transforming Charity and Giving into the Deepest Birthday Offering
His Holiness Living Buddha Liansheng has compassionately taught:
“If you wish to pray for Grandmaster’s longevity and good health, you must perform great virtuous deeds, recite the Amitayus Buddha Heart Mantra often, and cultivate the Amitayus Buddha Practice frequently…”

Deeply understanding their Root Guru’s compassionate intent, True Buddha disciples embraced this teaching during Gruru Buddha’s Birthday celebration. The Lotus Light Charity Society joined hands with its chapters worldwide to launch the noble vow, “Through Lotus Light’s Great Aspiration, We Pray for Guru Buddha’s Longevity and Continued Abiding in This World.”

In addition to wholeheartedly reciting the Amitayus Heart Mantra, “Om, ah-ma-re-ṇi, zu-wen-di-ye, so-ha,” temples and disciples around the world transformed their gratitude toward the Root Guru into widespread acts of charity and generosity. They understood that doing what Grandmaster wishes to accomplish and loving the sentient beings whom Grandmaster loves means converting compassion into tangible relief and care for others. Such compassionate action is the most sincere and supreme birthday offering that can be presented to His Holiness.

Why Do We Pray for Guru Buddha to Remain in the World Every Year?
In today’s world, where material desires run rampant and natural and human-made disasters occur with increasing frequency, people can easily lose their direction. Some may wonder: Why does the True Buddha School hold such a solemn and grand Praying for Guru Buddha to Remain in the World ceremony every year?

Because the presence of His Holiness in this world symbolizes the unceasing light of the True Dharma. Praying for Guru Buddha to remain in the world is not merely an expression of disciples’ wish to keep their compassionate Guru among them. More importantly, it is a prayer to preserve stability, guidance, and refuge for this turbulent world. As long as Guru Buddha remains in the world, the True Dharma can continue to turn endlessly, enabling countless suffering beings to find the path to liberation. It is a compassionate commitment to all sentient beings throughout the universe, extending across lifetime after lifetime.

Five Consecutive Sessions Demonstrate Extraordinary Unity
Spanning four major regions and a full twenty-four hours, the event brought together True Buddha disciples worldwide, whose hearts seemed to beat in unison.

First and Second Sessions: Led by Taiwan Lei Tsang Temple and Zhongguan Temple, opening the vast ocean of aspirations shared by disciples around the world.

Third Session: Indonesia Lei Tsang Temple united thousands of participants in one heart and one mind, with Dharma sounds resonating everywhere and demonstrating remarkable solidarity.

Fourth Session: Federal Tantric Buddhism Chen Foh Chong Malaysia illuminated the night with countless lamps of devotion, gathering boundless light and blessings.

Fifth Session: The event ultimately returned to Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple, where His Holiness manifested in this world. There, the Amitayus Heart Mantra recitations and virtuous aspirations of 167 temples and tens of thousands of disciples were gathered into a grand dedication of merit.

As images appeared on the screen of practitioners from different nations, living in different time zones, joining their palms and shedding tears in prayer, the Great Unity of the True Buddha School was no longer merely a slogan. It became a profoundly moving reality, touching both the eyes and the hearts of all who witnessed it.

Boundless Aspirations, the Dharma Wheel Turns Forever
Although this unprecedented ceremony for Guru Buddha to Remain in the World has successfully concluded, the vows and aspirations of True Buddha disciples have only just begun.

The united efforts of 167 cultivation venues have demonstrated that regardless of how the world may change, the solidarity and interconnectedness of the True Buddha School will only grow stronger.

Together, we respectfully dedicate the immeasurable merits generated through this Feast Offering and the extensive charitable activities to our Root Lineage Guru, Living Buddha Liansheng:
May He remain healthy and strong.
May He enjoy longevity and be unhindered.
May He abide long in this world.
May He forever turn the Dharma Wheel.
And may He continue to benefit and bring happiness to immeasurable sentient beings throughout all realms.
