2015 is the 10th anniversary for Dharma Drum Mountain World Center for Buddhist Education, and is also when Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts starts recruiting students. In gratitude to DDM’s founder, Master Sheng Yen, as well as people who have contributed to and supported DDM, a gathering will be held at the Wish-Fulfilling Guanyin Hall on Dharma Drum Mountain on October 31, for young participants to meet, to pray for world peace, to make vows, as well as to light and pass on lamps of wisdom. On November 1, at the Assembly of DDM’s Global Followers, through the sharing of a hand gesture indicating purity and awakening, and along with the chanting of the Heart Sutra, tens of thousands of devotees and followers send out positive energy by praying for blessings for all the people in the world.

Maybe they were once lost or on-line addicts; in the diverse tidal waves of the younger generation, however, one can always create their own mental tides as long as they are willing to set out their inner journey.
For registration and details about the Mind-Tide prayer rally for young people, please visit Dharma Drum for Young People website at http://ddyp.ddm.org.tw/.
