On the direction of Elder guru Vajra Yong Ming, those who have already satisfactorily bathed the Buddha, moved to another wing of the venue. With more than a hundred and forty guests standing together (about 200 persons including Holy Tantra Sangha members), the presumably cramped hall suddenly became spacious, it appeared to have turned into Vimalakirti's hall.
Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG stood in the middle of the crowd, looked at the assembly smilingly. Although Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG displayed the heavenly being form of Holy Vimalakirti by wearing a grey coloured Dharma robe, which bore a distinct contrast to the whole Sangha group's vivid imperial national teachers' resplendent red and yellow dynamic dharani Dharma attire, He was not at all conspicuous.
However, Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG's subtle and noble Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism imperial national teacher's manner of steady control of the four dharani Mahauniverses, displays through natural body movements. He imparts messages of holiness, cleanliness, purity, tranquility and serenity to people around Him all the while.
Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG sauntered towards the guests and personally offered a gas lighter to each of them. The guests were drawn to a crescendo of excitement.
Guests reverently took the lighters to ignite the sacred candles, as if Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG was igniting the sacred candle of the inner mind of each guest. It exemplified the process of one lamp further igniting hundreds and thousands of lamps, resulting in infinite numbers of lamps being lit up, and likewise, countless sentient beings are being delivered. We wholeheartedly wish that the whole world will be illuminated by sentient beings' brilliance of enlightenment.
Led by Elder guru Vajra Fa Xian, joyful and elated, all sang together the western Happy Birthday song. Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism's esoterically-esoteric ritual was transformed to a mundane ceremony, and Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism's religious ritual was again transformed to a mundane western style birthday party. This was indeed a momentous transformation.
This transformation precisely displayed "without giving up activities, while generating the formless" as described in the Vimalakirti Sutra, which vividly revealed the true bliss of life and displayed the pure land of humanity.
The celebration of Buddha's 2545th holy birthday celebrated every participant's own birthday! Amidst the relaxed, cheerful, delightful and peaceful atmosphere, with drums and cymbals played together, candle lights flickering, the sound of laughter and clapping of hands, under the officiation of Holy Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Ahdharma Buddha Patriarch Master WANG, Elder guru Vajra Hui Lan and distinguished guests cut the birthday cakes together, and shared with all present.
Time flies, soon enough it was noontime, the scheduled closing time of the Dharma meeting. The chairperson Elder guru Vajra Hui Lan announced:
"I announce that the Bathing Buddha Holy Birthday Dharma Meeting has come to a close in perfection."
Vajra sisters again played the drum and cymbals. As if it were the roar of unanticipated thunders up in nine heavens, the loud, strong and tightly packed sound of sacred drums suddenly stopped. Then, after a strike of the gong, all went quiet. Amidst the enthusiastic applause of guests, the Dharma meeting ended in harmonious perfection.
