The Ullambana Festival is an important period where Buddhists recall the kindness of ancestors and cultivate filial piety towards all beings. It is also when the Sangha community completes their Vassa retreat.

BW Monastery Sangha will be reciting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sutra every night from 16 August to 22 August, and on 22 August (15th day of the 7th lunar month), devoutly practise Ksitigarbha Repentance on Buddha’s Joyous Day.

Everyone is invited to follow the Sangha to recite Sutra, repent, and supplicate for blessings with a compassionate and filial heart, and make offerings to the Buddha and Sangha. With the merits accumulated, let’s supplicate to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for their blessings to eliminate the pandemic swiftly, the country and its citizens to have safety and peace, our parents to be healthy and have longevity, departed parents and ancestors be reborn in happy realm or pure land, all beings in the 10 directions to be free from sufferings, eliminate obstacles and attain Buddhahood swiftly.

We warmly welcome you to participate in Ullambana Puja with us!
