Organizers estimate that as many as 35,000 people came to see the Jade Buddha at Co-Lam Temple on Graham Street last month:

We would like to emphasize that the purpose of our program of meditation and prayer before this solemn symbol, the Jade Buddha of Universal Peace, is for each one of us to practice the Buddha’s teaching that, if only we transform our minds to be truly peaceful and aware, we can transform our world in the same way.
