During the dharma assembly, the beautiful and shining sun was high in the sky. Although the temperature was quite high at about 82 degree Fahrenheit, the magnificent atmosphere at the site of the dharma assembly and nearby areas totally removed any feeling of the hot weather. Rather, a comforting feeling of cooling ventilation was conveyed to everyone.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III attended the dharma assembly held by the World Buddhism Association Headquarters. Escorted and guarded by multiple layers of police officers, He walked on the red carpet to the lakeside. Holding khadas in their hands, the attending Buddhists of the seven types kneeled on both sides of the road to welcome His Holiness the Buddha. All chanted loudly the Buddha title of H.H.
