LF38 - Collective Offering of Mahayana Teachings for Vast Merit and Wisdom

🍃 Avataṁsaka Sutra – “The Practices and Vows of Samantabhadra”:
 “Among all forms of offering, Dharma Offering is supreme… Because all Tathāgatas honor the Dharma, and because practicing according to the teachings brings forth all Buddhas.
 When Bodhisattvas engage in Dharma Offering, they accomplish the offering of all Tathāgatas. Such practice is the true offering.”

🍃 Accomplishing Practice Through the Mahayana Scripture Stupa
🪔 During the Lamp Festival, the monastery will establish a Mahayana Scripture Stupa, enshrining treasured Mahayana texts. This provides rare and powerful conditions for all participants to take refuge in the Dharma—through beholding the scriptures, making prostrations, offering to the texts, circumambulating the scripture stupa, and making great aspirations toward the Dharma.
🪔 With these merits, may all conducive conditions for practice swiftly gather, may all karmic obscurations be rapidly purified, and may we together attain unsurpassed enlightenment.

🍃 Merits of the Offering
🪔  Supporting the construction of the monastery, enabling the Dharma to remain and flourish.
🪔  Participating in the collective offering of the Mahayana Scripture Stupa to Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and lineage masters—creating profound shared merit.
 🍃 Any remaining funds will continue to support the monastery's Dharma propagation efforts, benefit sentient beings, and support the Sangha's education and livelihood, thereby increasing the donor’s blessings and merits.
