COMPASSION LIFE SOCIETY REVIEWS
I am very impressed with the volunteers who protect the Dharma of the Association. I have witnessed the selfless dedication of a group of volunteers and Bodhisattvas. They bring love to the nursing home, release life, and many corners that need them. It is worthy of the Compassionate Life Association that there is a pure land on earth.
Came here to make offerings to the Buddhas, provided donations for the various temple causes and took home a few books about Buddhism. Volunteers here are very friendly and willing to guide me as it was my first time. Really thankful and recommended.
I rejoice and admire the boundless merits. I hope that there will be such a loving group in every corner of the world. I hope that the world can coexist peacefully and coexist without struggle. The world is full of great love. It is the so-called "world of love". What a wonderful thing to do~ Namo Amitabha.
