Welcome all to Attend ~
The 2026 Seattle Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple Autumn Grand Ceremony
Presided by Root Lineage Guru, His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng
Great News!
At the 2026 Autumn Grand Ceremony to be held at the Meydenbauer Center, Living Buddha Lian Sheng will bestow, for the very first time, the Empowerment and Dharma Teaching of Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva (Great Strength Bodhisattva).
Living Buddha Lian Sheng has taught that the merits and blessings of Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva are exceptionally profound. Those who sincerely cultivate the Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva Yidam Practice will receive the Bodhisattva's blessings of wisdom, insight, and enlightened vision, developing great wisdom and great spiritual power. Practitioners may also gain authority and influence in the world, receive the Bodhisattva's compassionate deliverance, and, at the end of this life, be guided to rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (Sukhāvatī).

May everyone seize this exceptional opportunity, attend this grand event, benefit themselves and others, and attain perfect bodhi.

We warmly invite devotees and well-wishers from all walks of life to participate in this auspicious gathering, bathe in Buddha's light, pray for the eradication of calamities and the bestowal of blessings for the living, and dedicate merits toward the deliverance of ancestors and departed spirits so that they may be reborn in the pure land. May both the living and the deceased benefit alike, and may all enjoy peace, auspiciousness, and wish-fulfillment.
