For the upcoming 7th New Moon & Full Moon Uposatha Day, besides the 8 Precepts transmission ceremony, there will be a Q&A session on upholding the Upasaka/Upasika 5 precepts.
Objectives:
To enable lay practitioners to experience the life of a Monastic for minimally 1 Day and Night during which, they intensify and deepen their practice of mindfulness of the Triple Gems, moral conduct (sila) and meditative concentration, and uphold the Arhant / Tathagata’s virtues for future Nibbanic bliss and Buddhahood.
The world and world-transcending merits and blessings generated from the practice will be dedicated for the following purposes:
- Relieve the suffering of the COVID-19 virus, those who are recovering from, and those who had succumbed to, infection;
- rapid recovery of the world from the pandemic;
- liberation of our deceased ancestors and loved ones;
- prolongation of the Buddha’s Sasana.
