April 2, 2023 (Sunday), 9:00 am, Ocean Sky Chan Monastery will hold the Qing Ming Memorial Ceremony, promoting Buddhist compassion in liberating all sentient beings as well as the virtues of filial piety and gratitude. During the ceremony, The Practices and Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Avatamsaka Sutra will be chanted, followed by the Grand Meal Offering, Memorial Prayers, Dharma Talk, and Offering to the Sangha.
We will dedicate all merits from this ceremony towards world peace and prosperity for all people: may our deceased ancestors, loved ones, and foes get reborn in better realms; may our family, friends, and all others be filled with blessings and wisdom; may sentient beings across the ten Dharma realms be liberated from suffering and attain enlightenment. We therefore invite everyone to attend this ceremony to listen to the Dharma teachings and be replete with Dharma Joy.
