Above is some necessary information sent to Venerable Ones in the Dharma propagation delegation to know and get airline tickets. The maximum of each place about 10 Dharma teachers is ideal, because accommodation is limited. Those who have not yet enrolled officially, please let us know to update for the convenience of staying, picking you up, and seeing you off at the airport.
Venerable Teachers currently reside in the United States. If you are busy with local Buddhist affairs, you can only participate from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening, then return to your Temple and participate the same way next weekend. This will be more convenient for you.
Lay Buddhists in your areas, if there is any Temple, nun, monk who would like to invite the Dharma propagation Delegation to come and preach the Buddha Dharma, please let us know early during the above times for convenient arrangements.
I would like to sincerely thank all Venerable Ones and lay Buddhists near and far. Please try to support this Dharma propagation delegation to be a complete success. The merit is truly not small.
Yours truly in the Dharma
The Head Monk of Dharma Propagation Delegation
Most Venerable Elder Master Thích Như Điển
