We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to engage in these beautiful practices that lead us to ever increasing happiness and freedom. And the most valuable gift that we can give to others is this opportunity to pursue a life of deep inner peace. When we give to Xiang Yun Temple, we are giving this opportunity to both present and future generations because the temple provides the necessary conditions and support for contemplation and meditation practice. This is the best gift that we can give to this world, for it is the gift of both inner and outer peace.
