Guan Yin Citta Netherlands’ first anniversary draws more than 700 people to vegetarian heaven

To celebrate the first anniversary of Guan Yin Citta Buddhist Practice Center in Netherlands, a large scale free vegetarian event took place at Dutch windmill village restaurant in Amsterdam on June 3, 2019. More than 700 people packed into the venue and spent an unforgettable day with delicious food and spiritual experience. It is also a good opportunity to promote the coming Dharma Talk by Master Jun Hong Lu in September 2019 in Europe, which will inspire people to learn better ways to improve life and mental wellbeing.

As a nonprofit organization, Guan Yin Citta Buddhist Practice Center in Netherlands has been committed to spreading core values of Buddhism and Master Jun Hong Lu’s teachings. In the past year, it has organized several large scale free vegetarian events in local communities and provided free Dharma class for kids to learn Buddhism and traditional Chinese culture. The loving kindness and compassion form the underlying foundation of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, and motivate the volunteers unconditionally devote their time, energy and love to help others awaken their inner souls’ wisdom and awareness. The first year anniversary is the milestone to embark on the new journey and embrace new challenges.

The event consists of multiple sessions, including the introductions of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, Master Jun Hong Lu, and the development of Guan Yin Citta Netherlands. Video sharing includes clips of Master Jun Hong Lu’s Totem Inquiry and Dharma Talks. Some of the music and marvelous performances also astonish the attendees all. A duet for the violin and cello performed by two Western Buddhist friends received roaring applause. They perfectly interpreted the Great Compassion Mantra as beautiful melody. Another Buddhist friend played the song Wish to be the lotus flower of the Bodhisattva on flute. Some young kids performed the recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra and Zhun Ti Shen Zhou. Volunteers from different countries of Europe, including Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, contributed their time and energy to help Guan Yin Citta Netherlands fulfill such a successful activity. The fact that they are carrying on Master Jun Hong Lu’s Dharma teachings in daily life is most praiseworthy.

Another highlight of the event is the introduction of the coming Dharma Talk by Master Jun Hong Lu in Europe. There will be two public talks in Paris and Rotterdam respectively. The Guan Yin Citta Netherlands will provide free shuttle buses for Buddhist friends to attend the public talk in Rotterdam on September 10^th, 2019. Free admission tickets for the public talks were distributed for free and lots of people obtained the tickets and look forward to seeing Master Jun Hong Lu in the coming September. The volunteers of Guan Yin Citta Netherlands will put their best effort into the coming events and spread Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door to more sentient beings.

Guan Yin Citta Ipoh in Malaysia holds a large scale Free Vegetarian Tasting Event

As the third largest city in Malaysia, Ipoh is known for its huge number of interesting attractions and rich history. On June 15, 2019, a large free vegetarian tasting event took place at the Ipoh PHL Convention Center. The vegetarian event attracted over 1600 attendees and featured various types of vegetarian food. It provides a welcoming environment in which to explore a wide variety of delicious, healthy, and plant-based foods that are good for people and friendly to the environment. The event was held and organized by the Guan Yin Citta Buddhist Association of Malaysian. It is also part of the series free vegetarian tasting events across the country to promote Vegetarianism and the core values of Buddhism.

This event consists of incredible sessions of vegetarian food tasting, video watching, and performances by volunteers from Guan Yin Citta. The dazzling and delicious vegetarian food not only satisfied people’s appetite, but also changed some of their opinions towards vegetarian diet. In the meantime, the attendees watched amazing video clips from Master Jun Hong Lu’s Dharma Talks and Totem Inquiries. These fascinating Totem cases revealed the real existence of Karma and the Law of Cause and Effect, which educated the attendees and made them realize that there is another Buddhist way to live their lives.

Master Jun Hong Lu, the founder of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, is a strong advocate of vegetarian diet, not only because it can benefit people’s health and earth, but also it is one of the main methods to cultivate compassion and refrain from killing. Master Jun Hong Lu has ever said, “Compassion will resolve all your troubles. When you are annoying someone, or you’re having something upset, it is mainly because you have not forgiven others. If you let go of the resentment and forgive others, you will open yourselves up to practicing compassion and love. Compassionate people have a level of inner courage to forgive others, which leads to resolving afflictions and trouble. “In order to achieve peace and social harmony in the world, restore the balance of mind, let us start it with the change of our diet, cultivate compassion and perform more giving.

The success of the event relied on over 400 volunteers from different places of Malaysia, including Sarawak Kuching, Sibu;, Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Puchong, Johor Bahru, Muar, Kluang, Yongping, Segamat, Selangor Seremban and Malacca. All the volunteers involved in the event of their own free will and for no financial remuneration. They worked wholeheartedly with true passion and enthusiasm. Many local people expressed their appreciation for the invaluable opportunity to learn Buddhism and experience vegetarian food culture. They look forward to attending the event again in the coming months.
