Remembering Our Loved Ones, repay the 4 Kindness on top, save the 3 Sufferings below...
The Origin of Grand Ullambana Festival Memorial Service
According to Ullambana sutra: one of the chief disciples of Śākyamuni Buddha, Mahāmaudgalyāyana using his supernatural power saw that his mother was suffering in hungry ghost realm. He was unable to help and the Buddha advised him to make offering to Sangha on the 15th day of Lunar 7th month. As a result of Maudgalayana’s offering , his mother was released from the hungry ghost realm. Hence thereafter on every 15th day of Lunar 7th month is known as Ullambana Festival, Buddhist devotees may transfer the ultimate merits of Buddha and Sangha’s offering to their departed one.
Pu Ji Si BRC will be organizing Grand Ullambana Festival Memorial Service for devotees to express their gratitude to their ancestors, parents, teachers and loved ones for their kindness, and to relieve them and all sentient beings of the three lower realms from suffering and to be born in the Sukhavati Pure land.
