Dear Devotees & Dharma Friends,
The annual Sangha Day is approaching. According to the Buddhist tradition, one may cultivate tremendous merits by making offerings to the Sangha, and practice filial piety by dedicating the merits to their parents and ancestors, and to all the sentient beings. The best way to make offerings to the Triple Gem and support the monastery is to make offerings to the monastic community rather than to just one person or a small number of people; to make offerings for the entire year rather than for only one meal; to make offering consistently rather than just for the present. In this way, one is supporting the Sangha and helping them practice and spread Buddha’s teaching, and therefore make this practice with deepened meaning.
In order to thank all the devotees and Dharma friends for their kind support, IBPS Dallas will conduct Ksitigarbha Dharma Services on September 7 for them. You and your family are most welcome to attend the services and share in the Dharma joy.
Please also bring your “Good Fortune Little Monk” to the temple before September 5, 2025 for the transference of merits if you have one.
In addition, during the entire seventh lunar month (from August 24 to September 21), the monastics will chant the Ksitigarbha Sutra every morning and evening in the Main Shrine and dedicate all merits to the devotees and benefactors’ loved ones.
May the Triple Gem bless you and your family!
Yours in the Dharma,
Fo Guang Shan IBPS Dallas
