We warmly invite you to join the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Birthday Dharma Assembly to honor his great vow and boundless compassion. Known for his profound vow, “If hell is not empty, I shall not attain Buddhahood,” Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva is revered for his dedication to liberating sentient beings from suffering and guiding them toward enlightenment. During this sacred assembly, we will chant sutras, make offerings, and dedicate merit, expressing gratitude and devotion to the Bodhisattva while praying for peace and liberation for all beings.
The Significance of the Dharma Assembly
Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Birthday is a profound opportunity to accumulate merit and cultivate virtue. Through the recitation of the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, participants can purify their minds, dedicate merit to their ancestors and departed loved ones, and pray for their liberation and rebirth in the Pure Land. It is also a chance to generate blessings for the living, wishing all beings peace, happiness, and freedom from suffering.
Join us at Mahayana Temple Retreat to immerse yourself in this solemn ceremony, cultivate wisdom and compassion, and experience the radiant vow and kindness of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva.
