"Across Bitter Sea" represents our clinical chinese medicine and acupuncturist practice in Alameda County and the North Bay of San Francisco area, our T.C.M. and Taoist Chinese Buddhist Healing ministry in the San Francisco, California area. This is our spiritual practice: The Medicine Bodhisattva Vow of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Guan Yin Pu Sa) and the Medicine Buddha to alleviate the afflictions of living beings, to facilitate the Acupuncture Chinese Herbal cure of chronic diseases and acute disease using the insight of Oriental medical acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and other alternative medicine such as Ayurveda. The bitter sea of anguish from acute illness and chronic disease is the voyage that everyone must swim. This is the "sea of suffering". No person is spared from this "karmic" swimming lesson. Penniless or wealthy, we must all take this karmic voyage across the "sea of sickness". We all have automatic enrollment in this school of hard knocks from the moment we are born. Crossing the bitter sea is to expand our heart to bear incessant suffering while standing in for others afflictions and suffering. Our Buddhist Church's healing ministry, our non-profit 501(c)3 religious work is using asian herbal medicine, tui na, Chinese massage, acupupressure and Buddhist Taoist Healing Arts assist you in the crossing -- to be a ferryboat to the "other shore" -- beyond suffering and sickness. Namo Guanyin Pusa!

Dedication of Merit:
Transference of Blessings

Back | Home

 

By this merit, may all attain Enlightenment.
May the enemy of wrong doing be defeated,
From the stormy waves of old age, sickness and death.
May all beings be liberated.


At this very moment, for the peoples and nations of the Earth
May not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard;
But rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase
And may supreme good fortune and well being always arise for them.


Just as the hero Manjushri Great Wisdom Bodhisattva gained Enlightenment
And Samantrabhadra Perfection of Conduct Bodhisattva exactly the same,
I dedicate this merit entirely (to the welfare of all)
So that I may train myself to follow Them.


Precious best mind Bodhicitta,
May it be born in those in whom it is not;
May it be born in those whom it has arisen;
May it grow and grow, on and on.


May all of us who share a connection with the Medicine Buddha and Dhanvantari
Be inspired by illumination.
May the blessings of health and ease
Shower like fragrant blossoms from the Medicine Paradise.
May the Dharma increase.
May all beings be happy and realize the Great Perfection.

Just as the lotus is a symbol of perfection and purity, so do we embody these qualities.  Just as the lotus rises from the mud, so does our higher nature rise from the world of conflict, confusion and chaos.  The beauty of the lotus and the beauty within us cannot be stained or touched with imperfection.  Just as the lotus flower’s graceful petals unfold layer upon layer, so does grace within us unfold revealing layer upon layer of beauty.
