From Taiwan: Just received an email from Master Lung Zhong informing us
that HeShang's health has been improved from critical to good/stable. 
But please do join us in praying for Long Life and Good Health to HeShang.

From Toronto: The Venerable  Lung Xiang  FaShi passed away this morning
around 6:10 am May 15 Saturday in Toronto (North York General Hospital)
due to final stage of liver disease.  May the Triple Gems be with him
always.  May he be reborn in a place full of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

108 days for CP:  May 15 to August 31, 2010:

1.  Self purification restraint: find out your worst Habitual tendency
and or Klesa, vow that during the CP we will try to eliminate or
diminish them.  Regardless of our means for practicing, purification of
body and mind is essential in helping us to attain true merits.

2. Dealing with others restraint:  open up our heart, HONESTLY care for
everyone around us (family, friends, colleagues and people we run into),
stay in harmony and try to awake other people's consciousness.

3. Care about our environment: Reduce, reuse and recycle.

4.During this 108 days, when you do not need to use your brain ( do not
need to think), recite " Namo Avatamasaka Sutra, all Buddhas and
Bodhisattvas in the Huayen Congregation".  or "Namo Mahavaipulya (大方
廣) Buddhavatamasaka(佛華嚴) Sutra, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the
Huayen Congregation."Use this phrase to fill in the blank space of your
life (or thoughts).

5. During this 108 days, pick your own homework ( time or place of your
own choice), dedicate your practice to the Long Life and Good Health of
Venerable Haiyun Jeming (our HeShang).
