🔶 Significance of the Puja
☘️ On November 8, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s Renunciation Day, Ban Foo Monastery will devoutly recite 200 sessions of the Avalokitesvara's Nectar Repentance, praying for the compassionate blessings of Guanyin Bodhisattva — to dispel obstacles, increase merits and blessings, and bring success and harmony in all endeavors.
☘️ In conjunction of Medicine Buddha’s Holy Birthday, on November 16, the Sangha at Ban Foo Monastery will devoutly recite 200 sessions (600 scrolls) of the Compassionate Medicine Buddha Repentance, praying for the radiant blessings of Medicine Buddha — for physical and mental well-being, and the fulfillment of all wishes.
☘️ A Grand Offering before the Buddhas will be conducted. With the collective devotion of Sangha and lay participants, offerings will be made to the Triple Gem, together with blessing and memorial ceremonies. Through the combined power of the Dharma assembly’s merits and the Sangha’s blessings, all prayer and memorial tablets will receive dedicated empowerment.
☘️ All merits from the puja will be dedicated to donors and their families:
For the Living: purification of negative karma, avoidance of misfortune, elimination of obstacles, extension of life, physical and mental well-being, removal of karmic and health afflictions, success in work and career, abundance of wealth, family harmony, and fulfillment of wishes.
For the Departed: rebirth in Pure Land, encountering the True Dharma, and eventual attainment of Buddhahood.
◈ Online Offering Deadline: November 13, 2025 (Thursday), 9:00pm
◈ Ban Foo Monastery reserves the final decision regarding the format of dedication names or inscriptions that do not meet the submission requirements.
