On Sunday July 8, 2001, there was a noon service at our temple for Buddha's Name Repentence (Sám Hôi Hông Danh) 108 bows under presidence of Upasaka Nguyên-Lôc Lê Vân, with Upasaka Quang-Hoa Trân Ngoc Ðóa striking the bell, and Upasaka Thi-Tu Nguyên Danh Huân beating the motak (mõ). There were 58 participants. Our president Upasaka Minh-Quang announced to the assembly the uploading of the four next chapters of the Vietnamese Avatamsaka Sutra (chapters 2 through 5) to our Web page and asked them to visit for study.
