On Sunday July 15, 2001, there was a noon service for peace and safety at our temple under the direction of Upasaka Minh-Qúy Lê Ðình Yên Phú, with Upasaka Nguyên-Luc Lê Ðúc Hùng beating the motak (mõ) and Upasaka Nguyên-Lôc Nguyên Tý striking the bell. There were 69 participants. Our president, Upasaka Minh-Quang Nguyên Lê Ðúc announced to the assembly the uploading to our web page two short sutras: the Sutra of the Ten Beneficial Actions (Kinh Thâp Thiên Nghiêp) and the Sigalovada Sutta (Kinh Thiên Sanh = Thi Ca La Viêt), and asked the assembly to visit for study.

Members of the Buddhist Family cleaned up the altars, the halls, arranging the flowers; then the younger went for their Vietnamese class with Upasika Nguyên-Diêu Nguyên Xuân Mai, while the grown ups met with Upasakas Minh-Qúy Lê Ðình Yên Phú and Nguyên-Lôc Nguyên Tý for their activity class (Morse code) preparing for the upcoming camp. Upasakas Lê Ðúc Hùng and Lê Công Huy repaired the sagging air vent on the right ceiling.
