- On the Occasion of the Jain Center of Southern California New Temple and Meditation Hall Inauguration -
It is with great pleasure that I congratulate the Jain Center of Southern California on the momentous occasion of a "New Temple and Meditation Hall Inauguration" in the City of Buena Park - October 4 through October 5, 2008. This wonderful new facility, magnificently constructed from marble and limestone imported from India, is a symbolic reflection of the graceful architectural elements of ancient and popular Jain temples in India.
Since its founding in 1975, Jain Center of Southern California has promoted Jain principles and addressed religious, educational, cultural, and other humanitarian outreach activities. The Jain community commitment to promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle based on core principles of non-violence, a respect for other faiths, and a balance of one's desires and needs, exemplifies the highest values in truthful living.
The Jain Center of Southern California membership and the organization's esteemed officers, especially President, Ashok Savla, are to be commended for their prominent participation and major contribution towards religious, educational, cultural, and humanitarian causes in both the U.S. and abroad.
In congratulations and joyful celebration,
Many l
