Mandarin Dharma Class
Venerable Wu Quan, also a disciple of Venerable Master Chin Kung, occasionally comes from the PLLCA to UQ for dharma classes.
Venerable Wu Quan's dharma classes mainly focuses on the Infinite Life Sutra also known as the Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra. It is one of the main Mahayana sutra describing Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land.
