- 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 to:
- i. the COVID-19 virus, those who are recovering from, and those who had succumbed to, the infection;
- ii. victims of the war and earthquake;
- iii. world peace and rapid recovery of the world’s economies;
- iv. liberation of our deceased ancestors and loved ones; and
- v. prolongation of the Buddha’s Sasana.
