We cordially invite you to join the Ullambana Ceremony to receive blessings and to deliver the deceased from suffering, make donations to the nuns and monks, and to sponsor vegetarian meals for fellow participants.
The merits accrued from these acts of piety and devotion will be dedicated to the donor’s parents of this life and those of the previous seven lives to repay their parental kindness. Your whole family is welcome to join us and share the benefits of the Dharma.
盂蘭盆法會，源於目犍連尊者救母之典故。《佛說盂蘭盆經》記載，目犍連尊者欲報父母乳哺之恩，以天眼觀見母親墮入餓鬼道，不見飲食，於是施展神通，以缽盛飯供養母親，食未入口就化成火炭，尊者悲求佛陀，佛言：「汝母罪根深結，非汝一人力所奈何，…….當須十方僧眾威神之力，乃得解脫。」
本寺於大佛殿舉行盂蘭盆法會，法會當日恭誦《盂蘭盆經》及上盂蘭盆供；敬設消災拔度牌位、供僧功德款及設齋供眾，以此功德迴向現世父母及七世父母，以報父母長養慈愛之恩。
