The extend we go for our mothers…
100+ people came together to pray for our mothers as well as all our mothers of infinite lives.
WE LOVE YOU MOM!
Rehearsal was put together in a matter of a week.
First, leading the way, was the full time staff of BW Monastery, setting the virtual backgrounds and adjusting light in our respective homes.
Then more members joined in to form the strength of at least of 100. These community of a 100 strong will for 5 days chant and dedicate the merits to our mothers as well as pray for COVID-19 to soon pass. May all be healthy and well.
Honored to be part of this meaning project and send well wishes into the world. For the first day we chanted the Universal Gate Chapter, 88 Buddha Great Repentance Prayers and the Heart Sutra. May all be well and happy!
Names in the Dedication lists was read by 10+ members of the chanting group. These were the Mother’s Day Special Offerings done by devotees to Buddha and Bodhisattvas for our members.
This will bestow divine blessings for our mother’s health and well-being. What better way to show our love and filial piety then making this offering as a gift for our beloved Mother.

Filial Piety towards our Mothers
孝敬母亲 – 斋僧供灯积福
Accumulate Merits through Sangha & Light Offering
This year we’ll probably celebrate Mother’s Day in quarantine.
To stay close to your Mother, you can do a Mother’s Day Special Offering to Buddha and Bodhisattvas for her.
This will bestow divine blessings for her health and well-being. What better way to show your love and filial piety then making this offering as a gift for your beloved Mother.
时势变化叵测，在这疫情非常时期，将不能像以往那样外出与母亲共渡难忘的母亲节，作为子女的我们可以怎么做来报答母亲对我们的养育之恩呢？为母亲斋僧及供灯祈福，不仅能祈愿母亲福慧功德增广丰厚，消灾延寿，善愿皆遂，同时也为全天下的母亲一起来祈福！藉由供养福田的大功德，自己也能培福，广结善缘，减轻业障，得师长摄受，早日圆成佛道。
