About this event
The Ullambana Festival originates from the story of Venerable Maudgalyayana, a chief disciple of the Buddha. Through his psychic powers, he saw that his late mother was suffering in the realm of hungry ghosts. Following the Buddha’s guidance, he made offerings to the Sangha on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month and dedicated the merit to her. Through this act of compassion and filial piety, she was liberated and blessings extended to all beings.
Join us for the Ullambana Festival Puja to honour our ancestors, liberate beings from suffering, and offer merits across the ten directions: tinyurl.com/3xr8prdy
盂兰盆节起源自于佛陀大弟子——目犍连尊者救母的感人故事。目犍连尊者以神通观察到亡母堕入恶鬼道,受尽饥饿之苦,悲痛万分,遂向佛陀求教。佛陀慈悲开示,教导他于农历七月十五供养十方僧众,并将功德回向母亲。透过这份孝心与慈悲,他的母亲得以脱离苦趣,此善行亦广惠无量众生。
以孝心为本,广行善业。参与盂兰盆节超度法会,超荐历代祖先,回向十方法界: tinyurl.com/3xr8prdy
