Celebration Ceremony of the Hungry Ghost Festival

2022/8/26 (the 29th of the 7th lunar month)
DETAIL
The legend of Mulian saving her mother is among the tales mentioned in the Buddhist sutra. The story is a reminder to not forget the kindness of one’s parents while in the mortal realm, and to respect and honor one’s ancestors. The Songshan Feng Tian Temple adheres to the idea of compassion, guiding all living things to pray to deceased relatives. Those who would like to “change their luck” or “accumulate karma” can take advantage of this opportunity to pray to increase the protection given by their ancesters and absolve their own sins, and to return the merits of worshipping to their own karmic creditors. All those faithful and benevolent are welcome to register in advance. 
|Ceremony Time| Begins at 1pm. 
|Please note|Offerings for the event must be collected three days after the Ceremony Time, or will be donated to an affiliated orphanage.
