In the 2023 Tenth American Chinese Spring Festival Gala & Global Outstanding Chinese Awards Ceremony, escorted by a traditional Buddhist umbrella and surrounded Aby his disciples, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi went up to the stage and became the focus of the event.
As an Esoteric Buddhist Guru from the East and a prominent spiritual leader, Holy Master waived at attendees with his gracious smile; many sensed the extraordinary energy from Holy Master.
Excitedly, the event organizer American Golden Tripod Organization’s founder Dr. Dawson Dong presented the certificate of “Global Outstanding Chinese Lifetime Achievement Award” to Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi in the ceremony, eventually fulfilled his wish of meeting Holy Master in person.
Compassionate Holy Master announced a Dharma class offered as a free gift for the people who are interested to improve their wellbeing and boost their immune system.
Holy Master and his Guang Huan Mi Zong disciples enjoy the wonderful performances of the Gala, including folk dances, Guzheng ensemble, street dance, talk show, Italian opera, and Chinese martial arts, all of which exhibit the beauty and spirit of eastern and western cultures.
To honor Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi’s hard work in promoting the Chinese cultural traditions in the United State, the California State Assembly presented a Certificate of Recognition to Holy Master to commend his contribution to “the great diversity of California and an increasingly globalized and connected world.” Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi accepted this state recognition from Michael A. Cacciotti, the mayor of South Pasadena, who was delighted to have this special moment.
The gala ended with flowers and applauses. The California state government and people’s warm welcome and recognition indicate the opportunity of spreading Guang Huan Mi Zong Buddhist Dharma in the west coast. More people will have the chance to listen to the Dharma and enter the ancient esoteric practice, so that they could receive the essential benefits of Buddhist Dharma to improve their holistic health of body, mind, and soul.
