The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually subsiding, yet the wounds and suffering it inflicted upon many may never be erased. The Eastern disciples who journey to the Holy Mountain in pursuit of Dharma now face far greater resistance and obstacles than ever before. Only with unwavering sincerity and courage can they traverse thousands of miles to return to the compassionate embrace of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and enter the supreme esoteric practice of the Guang Huan Mi Zong Great Perfection Dharma .

This time, the esoteric practice ascended into a higher-dimensional space, where past, present, and future merged into one. Under Holy Master’s profound Dharma power, the accumulated impurities of each individual were rapidly stripped away, revealing their true essence. In accordance with their karmic affinities, the Great Perfection practice led them to fulfillment. Thirty-one devoted disciples, who earnestly sought ordination, awakened from their long spiritual slumber through the process of listening, contemplating, and practicing the Dharma. At last, they were personally tonsured by Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi. Such a sacred bond is no ordinary connection—it requires the accumulation of merit across multiple lifetimes to manifest this extraordinary blessing.

From Guan Yin Temple to the Health Hall, the Cosmic Halo lingered in watchful presence, never wavering. It radiated in the sky from dawn till dusk, gazing continuously upon the newly ordained disciples. Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi revealed that the Cosmic Halo embodies the profound love and solemn attention of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Its sacred and magnificent halo continues to shine resplendently. The disciples, immersed in the divine energy bestowed by the Mahavairocana Buddha, were filled with joy and deeply inspired.

This world endures too much suffering and far too little healing. Thus, the disciples fervently hope that the Alaya seeds of compassion, sown by Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, will sprout and take root, growing into towering trees that extend their branches in all directions. May these trees flourish and, in turn, spread the esoteric teachings of liberation from suffering and affliction to those with the karmic affinity to receive them.
