Offering divine nourishment to all beings, perfecting blessings and wisdom.

▶ Merits of Offering Dana to Buddhas and Sangha
🌻On the occasion of the Buddha’s birthday, we remember the Buddha’s boundless compassion and wisdom. The merits of protecting life, refraining from killing, upholding a vegetarian diet, and offering dana to monastics are beyond imagination.
🌻According to the Sutra on Differentiating Good and Evil Karma, offering dana to Buddhas and monastics brings ten benefits:
✨Longevity. ✨A radiant and harmonious appearance. ✨Strength and vitality. ✨Unwavering memory. ✨Eloquence and wisdom. ✨Admiration and joy from all who see you. ✨Wealth and abundant treasures. ✨Freedom and ease in both human and heavenly realms. ✨Rebirth in heavenly realms upon death. ✨Swift attainment of Nirvana.

▶ Meritorious Deeds Performed by the Dana Donor
🌻Contributing to the monastery’s construction to ensure the lasting presence and propagation of the Dharma.
🌻Offering exquisite meals to Shakyamuni Buddha and all Buddhas in the ten directions.
🌻Providing fine vegetarian meals for the monastic community, ensuring the accumulation of Dharma nourishment in future lifetimes.
🌻Any remaining funds will continue to support monastery construction, Dharma propagation, and monastic studies and livelihood, allowing the dana donor’s blessings and fortune to grow boundlessly.

▶Blessings & Dedication
🌻The monastery will set up a Special Grand Family Blessing Tablet for the donor, allowing up to six additional names, praying for the Buddha’s light to shine upon the family, bringing peace, happiness, and fulfillment.
🌻The donor will receive a Seven-Day Auspicious Blessing Lamp, ensuring the Buddha’s light illuminates their life daily, granting longevity and eternal peace.
