2024 Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple Amitabha Dharma Service
As the birthday of Amitabha Buddha approaches, Hsi Lai Temple will conduct an annual “Amitabha Dharma Service” from December 22~29, 2024. According to the sutras, “Reciting the Buddha’s name gains limitless merits; making a full bow to the Buddha eradicates endless unwholesome karma.” The merits of reciting the Buddha’s name are truly auspicious because it helps people realize their intrinsic Buddha nature, eradicate defilements and be reborn into the Western Pure Land.
During the 7-day service, participants are encouraged to chant the Amitabha Sutra, and to recite the Buddha's name at home as additional practice. At the conclusion of the service, an “Amitabha Triple Contemplation Service” will be conducted on December 29 at 1:30 PM. The merits of this Dharma Service will be dedicated to the departed loved ones of participants to reborn into the Pure Land, and to wish world peace and good health of all humankind. All are welcome to attend and share in the joy of the Dharma.
We wish everyone good health and auspiciousness!
Yours in the Dharma,
Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple
