Other than this nation celebration, we have organize a Prayer Recitation Ceremony for this seventh month （中元节）. Prayer recitation is a powerful tool to ease the suffering of the souls and spirits, distribute merits to the needed ones, your loved ones etc. In Buddhism, its named as Fillial Piety Month, 孝子节。This seventh month, the chinese will pray to their departed loved ones, and would like to hold ceremonies like chant prayers, building merits transferred to them so that they could be freed from the torturous hell by reincarnate to another life soon.
Our temple have been organizing such activity for many years. All of us are aware that it marks a respect for conducting this prayer. This is an act of 'Merciful Kindness' 慈悲喜舍。 To help '*those' in need
The program are as follows:
10am: Arrival of guests
11am: Start of Ceremony, Prayer Recitation
12pm: Lunch Buffet (Vegetarian)
1pm: Auction & Interaction activity
2pm: 办道
p.s: *those means spirits/souls
