BLIA in the Comminity

This Issue Shines With: ——Sacred Streets
Our historic Vesak celebration transformed Times Square into an open-air sanctuary, where a thousand hands bathed the Buddha beneath neon skies. ——Compassion Without Borders From UN interfaith prayers to life-saving blood drives, we served with joyful determination—proving no act of kindness is too small. ——Harmony in Action Cultural bridges bloomed through Hindu temple dialogues and symphonies blending Heart Sutra with Star Wars—music became our universal Dharma language. Join us in celebrating a season where every act— whether washing a Buddha statue or washing dishes at a food drive—became an offering. Here, wisdom wears sneakers, compassion rides the subway, and the Three Acts of Goodness light up Broadway brighter than neon.
