The Thousand Buddhas Dharma Service is a popular event which occurs on Lunar New Year’s Day. Devotees come to the temple on this day to pay homage to the thousand Buddhas of the past, thousand Buddhas of the present, and thousand Buddhas of the future. By doing so, we are able to repent prior transgressions while also resolving to improve our thoughts and actions in the coming year. Freeing ourselves from transgressions, we will naturally be blessed with positive affinities.
While this service is traditionally practiced over the course of numerous weeks and includes hundreds of prostrations per day, we use an abridged liturgy which can be completed within the span of a morning.
