Bodhi Temple / Community craft · Pro bono

A small screen. A shared moment.

Visitors write a blessing on a phone; an animated panel carries it onto the temple display. Four ceremony-specific installations, built pro bono.

My role: Builder · Pro bono
Period: September 2025–August 2026
Evidence available: Four recorded demos + deployment posts + public blessing page

01 / Context

The problem

Connect a personal blessing written on a visitor's phone with a shared visual experience on the temple's hall displays.

My contribution, and the team's

I built the phone blessing page and animated devotional panels for the Bodhi Temple. The ceremonies and community setting belong to the temple; my contribution is the digital experience.

Constraints

The work served named ceremonies, with distinct devotional imagery for each occasion. The phone flow and the hall presentation needed to form one understandable experience.

02 / Decision

The consequential choice

Use a phone for writing and the hall display for the ambient presentation. Four panels adapt that same interaction to Ksitigarbha, Medicine Buddha, Yellow Jambhala and Guan Yin. The demos show the experience without implying a particular backend architecture.

03 / Delivery

What shipped

A public phone-friendly blessing page
Four animated hall-display panels
Recorded demonstrations of the end-to-end interaction

The documented outcome

The installation record starts with Ullambana on 5–6 September 2025, followed by Medicine Buddha on 15–16 November 2025, Yellow Jambhala on 17–23 February 2026 and Guan Yin on 1–2 August 2026. The four demos below preserve the experience.

Limits of the record

These are recorded demonstrations, not a live feed from the temple. Visitor counts and engagement metrics were not recorded for this case. The public blessing page may reflect the currently selected ceremony.
