GM32 Peacock Bloom and Hundred Flowers – Main Altar Offering

◈ Special Offering – Majestic Peacock Main Altar Flowers

The radiant peacock turns its gaze to the Buddha; may all disciples likewise turn their hearts wholeheartedly to the Buddha.

🪔 Mahāprajñāpāramitā Śāstra teaches:

“Though the peacock eats poisonous herbs, its feathers only grow more brilliant;

In the same way, though a Bodhisattva dwells in a corrupted world, adversity becomes the strength of the Path.”

💫 To be graceful like a flower in the world

💫 To retain an unimpaired sense of smell in all future lives

💫 To excel in the world and become an object of reverence
