Dharma Lotus Hall

The Buddhist service in Lotus Sutra Hall is to chant The Lotus Sutra (法華經).

The Lotus Sutra was one of the highly revered scriptures during the early Mahayana period in India. It then become significantly influential in Mahayana Buddhist regions, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea, and is also one of the most frequently recited and transcribed scriptures.

It consists of all doctrines in Buddhism, and is therefore also known as the ‘King of all sutras’.



The Lotus Sutra covers a broad scope of subject matter. It is about liberating all sentient beings with the aspiration that all sentient beings will attain Buddhahood eventually.

The practice of the Never Disparaging (Sadaparibhuta) Bodhisattva -- who never dared to treat anyone with disparagement or arrogance, and, instead, affirmed that all sentient beings could attain Buddhahood, fully portrays the true spirit of Buddha’s deliverance of sentient beings, which only can be seen in Lotus Sutra.
