Chuang Yen Monastery will be holding a ceremony to commemorate Kuan-Yin Bodhisattva’s renunciation of the householder’s life. The ceremony will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on October 20, 2024. We will recite The Chapter on the Universal Door of KuanYin Bodhisattva from the Lotus Sutra and make a Grand Meal Offering to the Buddhas. We invite you to sponsor the lighting of a blessing lamp and to sponsor other memorial services.
A practitioner walking on the Bodhisattva path, starting from generating the mind until accomplishing all the merits, he or she is not deterred by of all kinds of difficulties, and can stand the trial of time. He or she can imitate the spirit of Guanyin Bodhisattva who since renouncing the world and generating the mind to practice, has determination , forbearance , is not afraid of difficulties, and not deterred by any situations.
Join us on October 20 at From 10:00am to 12:15 in the great Buddha Hall for the
Renunciation Ceremony of the Bodhisattva Kuan-Yin
“Since immeasurable kalpas, there is a bodhisattva named Guanyin At Ease, who has accomplished great compassion, and skillfully practiced immeasurable dharani doors to confer peace and joy upon sentient beings.”
The Great Compassionate Heart Dharani Sutra
To commemorate the day Guanyin Bodhisattva renounced the world, this monastery is initiating a lamp offering ceremony. We pray that all motherlike sentient beings be spared of difficulties, that their calamities and obstacles be dissolved. May there be universal illuminations and all around purifications.
