Major events at Dharma Drum Mountain in 2025:The Power of Great Aspiration

Facing a new year, what should we do to make our each day a better day? And what can we do to help the people around us to obtain well-being and happiness?

Actually, as long as make good wishes, living our lives by cultivating good relationships with others, even with tiny kindness, small smiles, and warm words, we can naturally have the power to uplift our life from within. Just as Master Sheng Yen said, even for tiny aspirations, with wholesome thoughts in mind, we can thereby create a benign cycle, helping the collective karma of the world take a turn for the better with our shared aspirations.

For the year 2025, Dharma Drum Mountain has chosen the phrase “The Power of Great Aspiration” as its annual theme to mark its pubic Buddhist education endeavor. Through Master Sheng Yen’s teaching, we’d like to help people find direction of life, with great aspiration as the power to bring forth peace and well-being in society. As long as all people makes good vows and do good deeds, we’ll be able to realize the dream of achieving a pure land on Earth.
