IMG Volunteers’ Dharma Gathering Journal

Embrace this spirit------By Joe Chu                                 20260830
 
We are one family.

Dear Venerable Guo Chii (果啟法師) and IMG Volunteers, Amituofo!
 
First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Venerable Guo Chii for arranging this gathering, which gave our volunteers the wonderful opportunity to meet and get to know one another for the first time.
 
At the same time, heartfelt thanks go to Yun Lai Branch Monastery for coordinating the venue. We all know how busy the Annex is with a constant stream of activities, so being able to hold our event there is truly a blessing for all of us!
 
I would also like to extend my deep appreciation to Teacher Chien and the Chan Tea team. Their dedication was truly touching — yesterday's venue setup alone took several hours, not to mention their heading out early in the morning to purchase the beautiful plants and flowers that complemented the tea tables, as well as prepare the delicious refreshments everyone enjoyed. Spending so much preparation time just to ensure a smooth and fulfilling few hours for the event is something we are truly grateful for.
 
Lastly, let us also thank ourselves. We must have accumulated merits in our past lives to enjoy such abundant blessings in this life. Let us embrace this spirit of giving, dedicate ourselves selflessly at IMG, and help bring the benefits of the Right Dharma to even more people.
 
With gratitude and palms joined,
Joe
