Manjushri recites Buddhist scriptures every day. In the process of chanting, we can experience and understand the meaning of the scriptures. The believers also examine their own state of mind and actions according to the scriptures when chanting, and they regard chanting as speaking for the Buddha. We will gain a lot when we recite Buddhist scriptures.
We hold weekly lectures on Dharma. By studying Buddhism, our uneasy hearts can be soothed, it can open up our wisdom and let us understand the world we live in better. The topics discussed in Manjushri Lecture include the Three Dharma Seals, the four noble truths, the Five Aggregates, and the Six Entrances.

We will hold pujas on Buddha's birthday, some important Buddhist days, and holidays. Puja is an important ceremony in Buddhism. It is an activity where believers gather together to preach Buddhist scriptures, worship the Buddha, and discuss the teachings of the Buddha. There are many forms of pujas. Morning and evening classes for believers and group meditation are all types of pujas. No matter what form or content it appears in, the lofty purpose of puja is to hope that all living beings can learn the Dharma, not live in suffering, and save all living beings. The puja can be said to be an entry way for many people to understand Buddhism. Participating in the puja, people can recite and comprehend the Dharma together with believers, form good karma, and achieve Buddhism.
