In 2024, the world experienced rapid changes. Climate changes, technology advancements, and global dynamics presented challenges, but also fostered boundless new hopes. Dharma Drum Mountain's monastic and lay members upheld Master Sheng Yen's great vow, using the wisdom of Buddha-dharma as their guiding light to convey compassion and wisdom, helping people calm their bodies and minds, and enabling them to move forward steadily.

Marking the 15th anniversary of Master Sheng Yen's passing, DDM's global centers joined together in grateful remembrance of the Master's kindness, reflecting on DDM's journey in preading the Dharma and deepening the concept of "Protecting the Spiritual Environment" through diverse initiatives, guiding more people to experience happiness and inner peace.

Looking ahead to 2025, the DDM World Center for Buddhist Education will celebrate its 20th anniversary, honoring the legacy of the past and making a commitment to the future. We invite everyone to join us in shared aspirations and endeavor: starting with a kind aspiration, igniting the light within our hearts, gathering the collective power of positive thoughts and aspirations to illuminate every corner of the world, as we create a radiant pure land on earth together!
