Both 两个都受

3 Refuges Only 只受三皈

Would you like to receive a unique Dharma Name?

(If not, your default name would be "Miaoyin," which means wonderful sound) 你想要独特的法名吗？(如果不要，就默认为“妙音”). The Wonderful Sound comes from the prediction given to us by Shakyamuni Buddha in the Infinite Life Sutra, when we go to the Pure Land we will all be the Tathagathas of Wonderful Sound.
