Auspicious greetings to all devotees and Dharma friends:
Since the establishment of Fo Guang Shan, we have received continuous supports from our devotees, allowed Venerable to practice Buddhism and spread Dharma without obstructions. The annual Sangha Day is approaching, and it is one of the most important Buddhist Festival. It is a celebration in honor of the Sangha, or the Buddhist community. According to the Buddhist tradition, one may cultivate tremendous merits by making offerings to the Sangha, and practice filial piety by dedicating the merits to their parents and ancestors, and to all the sentient beings. The best way to make offerings to the Triple Gem and support the monastery is to make offerings to the monastic community rather than to just one person or a small number of people; to make offerings for the entire year rather than for only one meal; to make offering consistently rather than just for the present. In this way, one is supporting the Sangha and helping them practice and spread Buddhism, and therefore make this practice with deepened meaning.
To thank all the devotees and Dharma friends for their kind support, Fo Guang Buddhist Temple Boston and Fo Guang Shan New York Temple will conduct the Emperor Liang Dharma-Service of Filial-Piety & Gratitude and the Amitabha Triple Contemplation Service from August 28 to August 31, 2025. Merits gained from this Dharma service will be shared with our loved ones so that the living may have longevity and good health, and the departed can be reborn in the Buddha’s pure land.
