在諸佛菩薩、師父上人默默加被，以及四眾弟子齊心通力合作下，法界佛教印經會中部分會，終於在二○○三年二月二十八日正式成立了。
師父宣公上人中部地區的信眾雖多，但因為沒有共修道場及缺乏法師指導，難以凝聚力量，在幾次因緣需要時，卻無法有效聯絡。為了讓中部地區的佛友，都能齊聚一堂，發心護持三寶，菩提道上互相勉勵，因而在二○○二年初發起籌組印經會中部分會。剛開始進行時，找了幾個地方，都不合適。沉寂了半年，直到我們幾位佛友六月去聖城回來後，感覺應把責任擔負起來，便又開始積極討論籌組分會。得到法總及印經會法師同意後，大家更是鼓足力量，一心為建立弘揚正法的道場，而全力以赴。
看了許多地點，也經過多次開會討論，再邀請印經會法師的指導，終於決定了目前的會址。可貴的是：其間佛友彼此有意見不合時，都能同心探討利弊，折衷意見，這是一次彌足珍貴的學習過程。
分會成立當天，看到很多新面孔，會場一片生氣蓬勃，法會莊嚴，大眾法喜充滿。很高興終於有了自己的「家」，總讓我不由自主想多親近，也盼望此方淨土，能成為中部地區中流砥柱的正法道場；並且在大家凝聚共識，精進修行之後，更盼望有因緣恭請法總法師來此常住，弘法利生。

With the blessings of Bodhisattvas and the Venerable Master Hua, the fourfold assembly of Buddhists in central Taiwan officially founded a branch of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Books Distribution Society on February 28, 2003.
Although Venerable Master Hua has many followers in central Taiwan, due to the absence of a temple and the guidance of Dharma Masters,it has been difficult to collect their strength. On several occasions, for instance, Buddhist disciples there couldn’t communicate and coordinate effectively. In order for Buddhists in central Taiwan to congregate to support the Triple Jewel and encourage one another along the path to Bodhi, a founding committee was formed at the beginning of 2002 to start a central area branch of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Books Distribution Society (DRBBDS).
When the committee first began its search, they looked at several places but found them all unsuitable. After half a year of inactivity, discussions began again in earnest after several of us went to the City of 10,000 Buddhas in June and returned feeling that we should shoulder this responsibility. Upon getting approval from the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association (DRBA) and Dharma Masters at DRBBDS, everyone pulled together. We were ready to give it our all, hoping to build a temple to propagate the orthodox Dharma.
After considering numerous locations and holding many meetings, we invited Dharma Masters from DRBBDS for guidance and finally decided on the present location. What was invaluable in this process was that everyone learned to study the pros and cons of an issue and compromise when disagreements occurred.
At the opening of the branch temple, we saw many new faces. The place was lively and the Dharma Assembly was dignified. Everyone seemed to be delighted because of Dharma. We were all happy that we finally have a “home”, which can’t help but make me want to come around. We also hope that this pure land here will become a tower of strength representing orthodox Dharma in central Taiwan. As everyone comes to share similar outlooks and after diligent practice, we further hope that the opportunity will come together for us to respectfully request DRBA Dharma Masters to come and stay here on a long-term basis, propagating the Dharma and helping all beings.
