Medicine Buddha Dharma Function Concludes

On the evening of 13th November, the annual Medicine Buddha Dharma Function concluded with the transferring of merits, and around 60 devotees participated. The chanting of the Venerables resonated within the Buddha Hall and the devotees followed the chanting of the Medicine Buddha Sutra with joyous hearts.

At the conclusion of the function, Temple Supervisor Venerable Juexi delivered a Dharma talk, hoping that everyone may become givers of light; not only should they light their inner lamp, they should also illuminate others. The Venerable explained benefits of chanting the Medicine Buddha Sutra include longevity, the cleansing of the body and mind and the reduction of sickness and suffering. It is one of the wonders of the Buddha-Dharma.

The Venerable also explained that those who are filial to their parents will gain the protection of good gods while they chant, so that they can transfer merits to those who need it. At the conclusion of the evening, the Venerable gave a “Six Word Mantra” talisman to everyone.
