Observe the Ullambana Festival with gratitude and compassionate remembrance
We warmly invite you to register for our Ullambana Festival Blessing Ceremony (盂兰盆节祈福法会), a meaningful occasion to honour our parents, ancestors, and departed loved ones through offerings, prayers, and the dedication of merits.

Rooted in the Buddha’s teachings on filial gratitude and compassion, Ullambana reminds us to repay the kindness and care we have received. Through sincere practice and wholesome aspirations, we dedicate merits for the peace and liberation of departed loved ones, while cultivating harmony, wisdom, and blessings for the living.

May this observance nurture gratitude, deepen our compassion, and support wholesome conditions for present and future generations.

以感恩与慈悲之心，共度盂兰盆节
诚邀您参加盂兰盆节祈福法会，在佛法熏修与供养修福中，追念父母、祖先及历代宗亲，并至诚回向功德，祈愿先亡离苦得安、现世亲眷吉祥平安。

盂兰盆节源于佛陀教导孝亲报恩之精神，提醒我们忆念长养之恩，培植慈悲与善念。藉由诵经、供养与修福回向，我们愿以清净发心利益幽冥有情，同时为现世家庭与未来世代广结善缘、增长福慧。

愿大众于法会中增长感恩之心，培植孝道善行，共成清净安和之因缘。。
