The late Venerable Master Miao Lien once said: “Lingyen Mountain Temple is a great hospital that heals every illness.” What the Temple treats are the afflictions of the mind — greed, anger, and ignorance; what worldly hospitals treat are afflictions of the body — safeguarding the lives of sentient beings.

The Temple heals the mind; the hospital heals the body. The Richmond Community Based Organization visited Richmond Hospital Foundation to make a charitable donation. The funds will go toward the hospital’s expansion project, enhancing its medical facilities and capacity for care. Supporting the building of medical infrastructure is a concrete expression of the spirit of compassion within society. May this act of goodness give back to society and dedicate merit toward the peace and happiness of all beings, and may more families find reassurance and hope.
