To allow learners to repent negative karmic deeds and accumulate merits to be on the path of emptiness, the highly attained Master Renshan Jizhen from the Qing Dynasty wrote the Great Repentance through Maha-Prajnaparamita, after being moved by the essence of Buddha’s teachings from the 600 scrolls of Maha-Prajnaparamita sutra, which are extensive and profound.

The Sangha and the laities have been reciting the Maha-Prajnaparamita on a long term basis, together with the learning of Lamrim, 5 Great Treatises, that are all in alignment with the sutra.

Hence, with the repentance verses, make aspiration: through the strength of loving-kindness of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, being able to hear the term “Prajnaparamita” in the times of degeneration, may I never be away from all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from hereon… and to hear Maha-Prajnaparamita life after life.

You are invited to join in the Maha-Prajnaparamita Repentance Puja that takes place at 2pm, on the fourth Saturday of each month at BW Monastery, and experience the Dharma joy of repentance together.

《大般若忏》是清朝高僧仁山寂震，有感于600卷《大般若经》为世尊教法之精要，博大精深，为了让学者忏罪积资趣入空性，而制此大忏。

我等僧俗长期恭诵《大般若经》、学道次第及五大论，正与《大般若忏》相呼应。

愿以忏文发愿：“今以诸佛菩萨慈愿力故，于末法中得闻般若名字，愿我从今已去，常不远离诸佛菩萨……生生世世得闻大般若婆罗蜜多。”

邀请大家踊跃参与吉祥宝聚寺 每个月第四个星期六，下午两点推出的大般若忏法会，一起体验拜忏的法喜。
