Dear IBS Prison Program Supporters,
The Chuckawalla State Prison has graciously grant approval to permit the distribution of all of our Buddhist practice materials including books, CD's, DVD's, statues of the Buddha, kong (what's a kong?), bell, etc, to the Buddhist follower inmates. For that, I would like to confer my sincere gratitude for all the prayers and support to allow this auspicious outcome to come into fruition in such an expeditious manner. Hundreds of our dharma inmates will greatly benefit by being able to learn about the teachings and striving for genuine repentance to acknowledge their past misdeeds in hopes of becoming better societal members. IBS is honored and extremely grateful to be able to provide all of the materials that are conducive to a diligent spiritual practice and livelihood.
On behalf of all of the other prison Sanghas, I would like to once again express our utmost appreciation for your continual support and encouragement without which many of the results could not have happened. IBS also would also like to thank all the supporters in Taiwan, Hong Kong. Malaysia, Singapore, as well as those from different states in the US. As always, IBS vows to continue to do its very best to lead all the prison Sanghas on the path of Buddahood. May all sentient beings be blessed by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Amitofo,
Xianzhong Shi
