As the wildfires in California continues, society seemingly becomes more unstable and filled with chaos. People’s minds become very unsettled and easily agitated. As Buddhist, through our faith and our cultivation, we can send out positive energy and share goodwill with the world. We can help society to settle down and help all people to find calmness and hope. It is our sincere hope that all Fo Guang Shan members and people who are interested in cultivating will unite together and put forth an effort to help calm people’s minds, and to restore harmony and peace within our society by dedicating their merit and compassionate well-wishes starting today till dedication of merit on February 12, 2025.

All merit will be dedicated to all residents and families affected by wildfires in California. We sincerely invite everyone to join us in this prayer and practice.
