Vassa Offering Ceremony

Devotees offer necessities to buddhist monks who observe three-month rainy season retreat (Vassa) . During Vassa, the monk will practice buddhism (esp. meditation) diligently in order to attain enlightenment while it is easier for the devotees to learn Dharma from & make food offerings for them as the monks will only stay at one place. At the end of Vassa, it is Kathina which is a time of giving, for the laity to express gratitude to monks. Offering items will include new robes.

We started off by making offering to the Buddha at the Bodhi tree and also in shrine hall, followed by chanting and offering ceremony. Felt peaceful & joyful during the ceremony :')

Temple visit

A relaxing & inspiring trip to the famous Dong Zen Temple which was aimed to build up the fellowship among the members while exposing them to the culture of Mahayana Buddhism.

We first visited to the Dhamma Study Centre and had a briefing of the FGS's educational organization. Coincidentally, the MMU students were also there. We had a short inspiring video-- Joyful Fish and a motivating debriefing by venerable. It was about the mind, attitude & perception of life.

Later, we went to the art gallery to appreciate the art pieces. We then paid our homage to the Buddha's relics (sarira), the physical remains of Buddha in the form of tiny pearl-like, translucent and multi-coloured beads. The holy relics represent wholesome cultivation of precepts, meditation and wisdom. There are relics of physical body (Buddha's physical remains) and relics of the Dharma body (expounded teachings by Him). Seeing the Buddha's relics is like seeing the Buddha Himself. We pay homage to the relics which symbolize the Buddha and the characteristics of an enlightened body. By viewing the holy relics, it inspires us to develop loving-kindness and compassion, to understand Buddha's valuable teachings and to practice the Dharma.

Soon after, we tried out the sutra calligraphy. Due to time constraint, we performed calligraphy with 2-sentence sayings instead of the 260+ words prajnaparamita sutra. When one concentrates on performing the calligraphy, one would become mindful and thus with continuing practice, gradually free from deluded thoughts or defilements with arising wisdom. It is believed that one could attain one-mindedness and ease of body and mind by practicing sutra calligraphy with mindfulness.

After that, we went the main shrine hall and having a briefing about the activities organised by FGS and their significance. Then, we had a nice vegetarian meal at FGS's Tea House.

Overall, it was a fun & eye-opening trip. Sadhu to the organizing committees and all the participants. May you all remember what been learned especially the Three Good -- Do Good Deeds, Say Good Words & Think Good Thought, and apply in daily life, in order to be happier and carefree! ;") Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu! (Excellence!)
