新春 – 建寺功德超荐牌位

1. As we celebrate the joyous Lunar New Year, Ban Foo Monastery invites donors to contribute towards the construction of the monastery, supporting its mission to uphold the True Dharma, support the Sangha, and spread the teachings widely.

2. Donor Contributions for Departed Loved Ones:
🔸Support monastery construction to ensure the Dharma stay for a long time and spreads widely.
🔸If there are surplus funds, continue to support the monastery’s propagation of Dharma and the livelihood and studies of the sangha, allowing the donor's merits to grow and be enjoyed endlessly.

3. Blessings and Merit Dedications:
🔸A dedication tablet will be created in memory of the departed, invoking the Buddha’s compassionate blessings to guide them.
🔸Through the extraordinary merits of monastery construction, Sangha support, and puja, blessings will be dedicated to the departed: May they be guided by the Buddha’s light, free from karmic obstacles, and liberated from suffering. May they attain rebirth in the Pure Land or a favorable realm, practice the True Dharma, and ultimately achieve Buddhahood. Wherever they may be, may they encounter the Three Jewels, practice the True Dharma, and develop bodhicitta. This dedication aligns with the aspiration from the Bodhicaryavatara (The Way of the Bodhisattva): “May beings be freed from the states of deprivation, Be endowed with faith, wisdom, and compassion, Enjoy an abundance of resources, And always recall their past lives. May they be free from suffering in lower realms and hardships, Be blessed with divine bodies, And swiftly attain perfect enlightenment.”
