Introduction to Canada Xing Wu Zen Temple Society Charity Organization
Xing Wu Zen Temple Society of Canada, established on February 10, 2022, is a charitable organization officially approved by the Canadian federal government. The main purposes of the Society are: to promote the development of religion; to help alleviate the needy or low-income poverty. The vision is: Compassionate love, kind to all living beings. In the “Five Blessings by Giving Food Sutra”, the Buddha said that giving food and drink can get five kinds of blessings and achieve five kinds of merit: giving life, giving color, giving strength, giving peace, and giving debate. That is to say, when you give food, you will have the merits of the five kinds of giving, and the blessings come from making offerings.
