Ullambana Festival 盂兰盆节

Ullambana is a day for paying respect and gratitude to ancestors as well as expressing compassion and love for all beings suffering in this world. The observance of Ullambana is on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. The origin of Ullambana can be traced back to the account of Venerable Maudgalyayana, a disciple of Buddha, who discovered through his meditative powers that his mother was reborn as a hungry ghost. Buddha advised him to make offerings to the Sangha; the merits would help relieve the suffering of his mother and other beings in the realms of misery. Participate in our yearly Ullambana prayers to express gratitude to deceased loved ones as well as to liberate the sufferings of sentient beings in the lower three realms.

盂兰盆节是一个拜祭、感恩及追思祖先的日子，与此同时，也表达对众生的怜悯与关爱。

盂兰盆节超度法会定在农历七月十五当天举行，盂兰盆节的起源可追溯至佛陀的十大弟子之[神通第一]，目犍莲尊者，知悉母亲堕入 饿鬼道，他用神通力，送食物给母亲，但是，母亲一开口，食物就变成火焰，吞不下喉。他很伤心懊恼，凭借他的神通，都无法救度母亲，后来去求助佛陀，佛陀教导他在七月十五当天，用食物供养僧众，以此功德，廻向给母亲及在三恶道受苦的众生，用此功德救度他们，离苦得乐。

信众可在本寺每年的盂兰盆节超度法会 报名拜祭、感恩及追思祖先，以此功德，同时救度在三恶道内受苦的众生，让他们离苦得乐。
