Shakyamuni Buddha Puja
This marks the day when the Buddha, after having gone to the Heavens of the Thirty-Three to teach the Dharma to his mother who had taken rebirth there, returned to continue his enlightened activities in our world. The merit accumulated on this day is increased 100 million times.
We will be celebrating this special day with a Shakyamuni Buddha Puja at 7.30pm where an extensive Seven Limb Practice will be performed, enabling us to purify eons of negativities and accumulate oceans of merit.
Golden Light Sutra Recitation
There will also be a recitation of the Golden Light Sutra from 1.30pm - 5.30pm. This Sutra is most beneficial for fostering harmony in all its aspects and therefore most relevant for our times.
