Blessings for the Living 祈福

To be generous in giving, to be righteous in conduct,
to help one’s relatives, and to be blameless in action
— this is the greatest blessing.

In the Mangala Sutta, the Buddha, expounded 38 forms of great blessings. One of them is generosity, a quality which the Buddha taught is conducive to one’s happiness and prosperity,  in accordance with the karmic law of cause and effect. Some of events for blessings are:

• Lunar New Year (Lunar 1^st month)
• Great Compassionate Blessing (27^th day of every lunar month)
• Medicine Buddha Lamp Offering 
• Medicine Buddha Blessing (1^st week of every lunar 9^th month)
• Shui Lu, The Grand Prayer that Blesses and Benefits All Sentient Beings
  

 ” 布施好品德，帮助众亲眷，

行为无瑕疵，是为最吉祥 “

《佛说吉祥经》

佛陀在《吉祥经》解释了38种最殊胜的祝福。其中之一便是慷慨，一项对个人的幸福和顺遂起着密切关系的素质。有如其他善举一般，根据佛陀所教导的因果论，布施能为我们的未来带来幸福。您可在以下的场合祈福。

• 点药师灯（整年）

Remembrance 追思

The Buddha’s teachings were propagated in the world  for the purpose of educating and benefiting all sentient beings in the six realms.
The remembrance of ancestors and praying for the deliverance of the departed loved ones are exemplary traditions of Chinese Buddhism.

Family and friends can choose to perform Buddhist rituals for departed loved ones during the first forty-nine days of their death or on their death anniversaries. Buddhist rituals such as chanting, offerings of food,cultivating merits etc. are  beneficial to both the deceased and living. Ancestral veneration is a traditional Chinese custom rooted in gratitude and is a virtuous act of filial piety to departed ancestors for the Chinese.

Even prayer activities performed after 49 days will also benefit the deceased. Families or individuals can register for the following prayers to dedicate merits to their departed loved ones:

• Qing Ming Festival | Ullambana Festival | Shui Lu

佛法为行教化,流传于世间,普能利益六道一切众生。追思先祖,超荐亡灵,是汉传佛教优良传统。

无论是往生者离世七七- 四十九天之内, 还是久远日后追思纪念, 亲人朋友等为其做诵经,施食,普佛等佛事仪轨的功德都能冥阳两利,阴超阳泰. 使亡者得到超度与做佛事的功德力量.
