Recorded from the Teachings of Lama Lian Sheng on August 17, 2024 and August 25, 2024
Lama Lian Sheng, in his teaching that evening, said: “Practicing the ‘Guru Dorje Zholi Anger Lotus Master’ can subdue the Four Demons. By aligning with Dorje Zholi, two very extraordinary powers will manifest. The practitioner can definitely transform into a rainbow light, like the Great Perfection of Padmasambhava, and attain the great power of non-birth and non-death. Practicing this Dharma is equivalent to practicing the Rainbow Body Dharma, which is itself a grand transmission. This Dharma enables both worldly and otherworldly accomplishments, fulfilling desires and wishes…. By aligning with Guru Dorje Zholi, the practitioner can also manifest a body of illusion, with hundreds of billions of transformations.”
Dharma Assembly Notice
[ No lunch/dinner provided at the Dharma Assembly on Saturday ]
The 2024 Autumn Dharma Assembly on August 31st will be held at the Lynnwood Event Center. According to regulations, outside food is not allowed on the premises, and the number of meal boxes available on-site is limited, with restricted serving times. Furthermore, after lunch, Master and the Abbess will also be attending the assembly. Therefore, the organizing team recommends that attendees eat before arriving at the venue to avoid long queues at nearby restaurants, which could delay entry into the Dharma Assembly.
For ordained practitioners coming to support the Dharma Assembly, please note that due to the inability to arrange meals on-site, the Seattle Lianzang Temple has converted the meal offerings for the monks on this day into an external meal offering fund, which will be distributed during check-in along with the Dharma Assembly support offerings. We hope that the Masters, Professors, and Dharma teachers will find it more convenient and comfortable to dine outside the venue. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Please Note:
1. On August 31st and September 1st (Saturday and Sunday), the Seattle Lianzang Temple restaurant will be closed due to kitchen staff being busy with Dharma Assembly work. Meals will not be provided, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
2. This Dharma Assembly will include the conferring of blessings, lay Bodhisattva precepts, and ordination ceremonies. Please call or register online. The Seattle Lianzang Temple will handle the blessings and lay Bodhisattva precepts registrations online. Ordination applications should be processed by the National Vajrayana Buddhist Association or the Seattle Office of the Religious Committee (Phone: 425-8857573).
3. Without the consent of Seattle Lianzang Temple, please do not send or deliver scriptures directly to the temple, as the space is very limited. Thank you for your cooperation!

Venue Introduction and Regulations
- The event center prohibits bringing in “outside food and drinks,” such as packaged drinks, take-out, or homemade food, to avoid making the venue messy. If many people are caught bringing in outside food, it may make it difficult for the organizers to rent the venue in the future, so we hope everyone will be self-disciplined. The venue has a water dispenser with free paper cups available for use. You can bring your own bottled water, thermos cups, or hot water bottles with water. Additionally, there is a small shop at the entrance of the 1st-floor main door that sells coffee, tea, bottled water, and snacks such as cookies and chips for convenient purchase.
- Please help maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the venue. After using the booths, make sure to restore them to their original condition to avoid causing trouble to the organizers during clean-up, and to prevent potential fines.
- The registration and distribution of English translators will be handled by Sister Summer Huang. There are nearly 200 wireless translation devices available. Those who need them can go to the 1st-floor booth to leave a deposit and borrow one.
- The seating area for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues is located in the Compassionate Zone behind the main seating area on the 2nd floor. It is best to enter the 2nd-floor main door from the back parking lot, where you can use an elevator to go up and down.
- On the day of the event, aside from the photography team of the organizers and authorized personnel from within the religious sect, please do not follow the master along the way for photography, as it may obstruct the flow and interfere with capturing the best shots. (Security will assist in controlling this.)
- Pets or animals are not allowed inside the venue.

Venue Layout (1st Floor and 2nd Floor)


Dharma Initiation Route and Order
- The Dharma initiation flag stand is next to the altar in the venue. Participants (facing the altar stage) will proceed clockwise from the left. After passing the Dharma initiation flag stand, they will exit through the right-side door and walk down the stairs to the 1st floor. After that, they will leave through the door next to the stairs on the 1st floor (exit leads to the main road). Those who drive can directly walk from the outside to the parking lot.
- Upstairs (2nd Floor) Dharma initiation order: Start with the VIP seats and the Compassionate Zone, followed by Area 2, Area 4, Area 3, and Area 5.
- Downstairs (1st Floor), participants can wait for a signal before being guided to queue and enter the 2nd floor venue for Dharma initiation. The queue will proceed next to the “Master’s Restroom” stairs to the 2nd floor.


Transportation and Parking
Transportation Information: How to travel between Seattle Airport (SEATAC), Seattle Lei Tsang Temple, Lynnwood Event Center, Rainbow Lei Tsang Temple, and other locations
- The main temple, Seattle Lei Tsang Temple, is about a 30-minute drive to the Lynnwood Event Center, the venue of the grand ceremony. The temple is about a 40-minute drive to the Rainbow Lei Tsang Temple.
- The biggest landmark near Seattle Lei Tsang Temple is Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond. From Microsoft’s headquarters, it takes about 20 minutes to walk downhill towards Lake Sammamish to reach West Lei Tsang Temple.
- Starting from August 31, 2024, the light rail (Link light rail) in the Greater Seattle area can be taken from the airport light rail station on Line 1 to Lynnwood Station. The Lynnwood Event Center is only 1 mile from the light rail station, and it takes less than 5 minutes by car (25-minute walk).
- In the summer of 2025, the light rail lines 1 and 2 will be connected, so passengers will be able to take the light rail from the airport directly to the Redmond Technology Station, which is close to West Lei Tsang Temple and Microsoft. From there, it will be a 25-minute walk downhill to West Lei Tsang Temple. Currently, Line 2 only connects to South Bellevue and doesn’t yet connect with Line 1, so it’s not possible to transfer directly to Seattle or the airport. However, travel between West Lei and downtown Bellevue, as well as shopping malls and art galleries in Bellevue, will become more convenient. Simply walk to the nearest light rail station, Redmond Technology Station, to easily catch the light rail.
- The bus to West Lei Tsang Temple is Metro Bus Route 249. The closest bus stop to West Lei Tsang Temple is at the intersection of 40th NE Street and Bel-Red Road. It takes a 2-minute walk downhill to reach the temple. Be careful to get on the bus in the right direction, as the bus stops on opposite sides, and going the wrong way could lead you farther away!
- Public transportation in the Greater Seattle area is very convenient, but passengers should consider luggage weight and quantity when using the light rail and buses, as it can be laborious and time-consuming to carry luggage up and down stairs. However, for those with less luggage, it is very economical, with a fare of $3.5 per trip.
- It is recommended to buy an ORCA card in the Greater Seattle area (the card costs $5 and can be recharged). Simply tap the card when getting on and off the bus or train, which is more convenient than paying with cash (bus drivers do not give change). ORCA card machines are available at the airport light rail station, and the cards are also sold at many supermarkets (Safeway, QFC; check online for sales points).
- In Washington State, people under the age of 18 can ride public transportation for free (ferries and monorails still require payment). Remember to bring a passport or photo ID.
- Upon arrival at Seattle Airport, after picking up your luggage, there is a place in the terminal where you can get maps and travel information about Seattle. If you have any questions, you can ask the airport volunteers, who will provide assistance.
- Because Rainbow Lei Tsang Temple is located in a more remote mountainous area, the only way to get there directly from West Lei or the airport is by Uber or a taxi, which may cost more than $100 (tips are additional). You can also consider renting a car or asking a friend to pick you up. Alternatively, you can take a bus from West Lei to North Bend Downtown, which is the closest city to Rainbow Lei Tsang Temple (requires two bus transfers and takes about 1.5 hours), then have someone pick you up, or call an Uber (a 10-minute drive). Note that buses in smaller cities have limited service, typically only before 9:00 AM and between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM, with fewer services on weekends or no service at all. (Rainbow Lei Tsang Temple address: 14310 476th AVE SE, North Bend, WA 98045-7931, U.S.A. TEL: 425-888-3677)
- Example 1: From Seattle Airport (SeaTac) to Seattle Lei Tsang Temple: About 21 miles, 40 minutes by car (traffic may cause delays). The fastest public transport is the light rail, taking 35 minutes, then Bus 545 for 25 minutes, followed by a 15-minute walk, and waiting time of about 25 minutes, totaling about 1.5 hours. The cost is $7, $3.50 for light rail + $3.50 for bus. Method: Go to the airport light rail station (SEATAC-Light Rail Station), take the light rail (operates from 5 AM to midnight) to Westlake’s University St station, walk to the bus stop at 4th St & University St (3A), take Bus ST-545 (operates from 5 AM to 11 PM), and get off at the Redmond (SR 520 & NE 40th St Station 6). Walk downhill for about 20 minutes towards Lake Sammamish, and you will see the temple on the left (Address: 17012 NE 40th Court, Redmond, WA, USA. TEL: 425-882-0916). Return trip: Take Bus 545 from 4th St & University St (3B), then take the light rail back to the airport.
