The 88 Buddhas Repentance is the most common and important text and practice upheld in the monastery’s Pujas. The text comprises of the 53 Buddhas’ name from the King of Medicine and the Superior Physician sutra, and the 35 Buddhas’ name from the Sutra of the Heap of Jewels.

It is mentioned in chapter 9 of the Sutra of Ksitigarbha on recitation of the Buddhas’ name that, by reciting one Buddha’s name, the merits are already immeasurable, let alone reciting more Buddhas’ name. Hence, if one can follow the 88 Buddhas Repentance practice and recite the Buddhas’ name, the merits are inconceivable. With utmost sincerity in repenting, one’s proper faith will arise, eliminating non-virtuous deeds, free from miserable realms rebirth, and increase in bliss and wisdom till attaining Buddhahood.

Hence, at the beginning of the new year, let's recite the 88 Buddhas' name to accumulate virtues and bliss, welcome the new year with great joy, for a safe year with all wishes fulfilled.
