Qing Ming (Tomb-sweeping) Ceremony (TOE 4/9/2016)
Announcement of the Qing Ming (Tomb-sweeping) Ceremony 敬啟者： 本寺謹訂於2016年4月9日10:00a.m. ~ 4:00p.m.舉行清明法會，法會當日恭誦《地藏菩薩本願經》及佛前大供；敬設消災拔度牌位及設齋供眾，歡迎闔府蒞寺同霑法益。 清明，是中國傳統二十四節氣中的第五節氣，也是掃墓祭祖的重要節日。《歲時百問》說：「萬物生長此時，皆清潔而明淨，故謂之清明。」 宋朝以後，清明最重要的活動即是掃墓，親族子孫到祖先墓前，祭拜焚香，打掃墓園，表達慎終追遠之意。本寺特於此節日舉行清明法會，藉大眾共修之力，以期能夠達到冥陽兩利。 “Until the hells are empty, I vow not to become a Buddha; Only After all living beings are saved, will I myself attain Bodhi” ~ Earth Store
