SUMMARY:Amitabha Chanting for Liberating the Deceased and Benefiting Beings (Qing Ming) - 清明節法會
DESCRIPTION:Please note schedule change from April 8 (Saturday) to April 9 (Sunday) \nThe sangha of PTC will be making prayers and offerings for our parents\, ancestors\, and the deceased through a special recitation of the Amitabha sadhana with tsok offerings and aspiration prayers for the well being of ourselves and all other beings\, especially those to whom we dedicate the practice by name\, both living and deceased. \nThe practice entitled ‘Jangchok’ will be included within the chanting of the Amitabha sadhana.  Jangchok is done for the benefit of the recently deceased to achieve liberation.  For persons who may have passed away a long time ago the Jangchok practice will still bring great blessings to the deceased and create the causes and conditions for the liberation of the person.  For the living\, it is said that once their karmic debtors are liberated through this practice\, the person will have less obstacles.  For all beings\, this practice will help to create favorable conditions and enhance their well-being. \nDuring the chanting Lama Tsering Dakpa will bless and burn all the names of the deceased to symbolize purification of their defilements\, obscurities and negative karma by the fire of wisdom\, ripening their merit to be reborn in Amitabha’s pureland of Dewachen. Also included will be a dedication of merit to all sponsors and their designated names for blessing. \nYou may donate any amount and provide us with the names for dedication (both living and deceased).  To make these dedications\, download the Amitabha Sadhana Dedication Form in Chinese and English. \n\nThere will be two sessions: 10:00am and 1:30pm.  \n  \nThis event is also being offered on Zoom. If you would like to participate\, please click here. \n  \nPlease do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever.\nWe look forward to your visit when you feel better.  \n  \n  \n法林寺清明節法會 \n2023年4月9日（周日）\n上午10:00 下午1:30 \n  \n在清明節之時，噶擧佛教法林寺將隆重舉行法會，為祖先亡者超度，為功德主及生者加持。在修阿彌陀佛天法時\, 將加修消災除障法“將除”. 此法加持力巨大，迅速救度最近或已過世很久的祖先亡者。同時為功德主及生者名單加持、超度怨親債主、祈福消災、祛除惡業身心疾病、障礙逆緣。在法會中\, 喇嘛慈寧將焚燒亡者名單，象徵以智慧之火，祛除亡者惡業障礙逆緣，圓滿福報而往生阿彌陀佛淨土。而且囘向功德給施主及加持名單。 \n西藏生死書］作者索甲仁波切說：幫助亡者絕對不會嫌晚，不管其去世多久。你要幫助的人也許過世一百年，但他們仍會獲得修法利益。 \n法會也將在Zoom 轉播。  請點擊此鏈接 \n免费法会参加 ！随喜供養可提供回向名单 \n

SUMMARY:Kalu Rinpoche's Practice of Aspiration Prayers (Monlam Choga)\, followed by the Short Practice of the Peaceful & Wrathful Deities (Shitro)
DESCRIPTION:The monastery is now open. Visitors are required to wear masks. Please note that accommodations remain closed to the public. \n  \nPlease join us in the chanting of the Monlam Choga\, a practice of offering and aspiration prayers compiled by Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche. This is followed by the short liturgy of Shitro (Peaceful and Wrathful Deities)\, a profound practice from the cycle of teachings and meditations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. We dedicate this practice to the deceased in order to purify negativities\, avert obstacles in the bardo\, and establish a connection with the deities that will ripen in future lives. \n  \nIf you would like to participate via Zoom please use our online event registration form.  To join the chanting please download Kalu Rinpoche’s Practice of Aspiration Prayers (Monlam Choga) \n  \nMonday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday night classes will continue on Zoom only.
