1. Amitofo Care Centre’s Visit
On July 15th, Venerable Hui Li, the founder of an Africa non-profit organization, Amitofo Care Centre (ACC), visited Jade Buddha Temple as a part of its 2016 oversea fundraising trip to USA. A wholehearted greeting was given by members of TBA leading by Venerable Gen Hai, followed by a welcome dinner banquet at the auditorium with delicious veggie entrees and entertainments. Many well-known local media were also present.
Venerable Hung-I addressed during the dinner that he has known Ven. Hui Li for over 40 years and was very impressed by his dedication to Buddhism. Our association is home to all. While planning for your next trip to Houston, take some time and stay a few nights at American Bodhi Center to experience what we have to offer.
ACC is founded and directed by a Buddhist clergy from Asia with an aspiration and mission to care for African orphans, to provide them with humanitarian assistance and educational opportunities. The guiding principles of ACC are based on local African culture, Chinese culture and Buddhist philosophy.
Food and programs are well prepared. Members from ACC also performed solo and chorus in return. This visit is a warm gathering and a successful interaction between two Buddhism organizations in promoting the same belief.
