Announcement of Mani Recitation Counts and Grand Dedication
This year, Vesak Day falls on 17 May Tuesday. Vesak Day
commemorates the Birth, Enlightenment and Mahaparinirvana of Lord
Shakyamuni Buddha. Our centre has specially organized a series of
program on this special day for all Buddhists, starting with 3 Days
Mani Recitations from 15 May 2011 Sunday. Together, we dedicate the
merits through our sincere recitation of the powerful
Avalokiteshvara’s Six Syllables Mantra towards world peace and
harmony. It is said that all virtuous actions performed on the
auspicious Vesak day will be multiplied many times. So let’s come
together to devote ourselves in spiritual practice, observe
precepts, be mindful of our body, speech and mind and dedicate the
merits for the happiness of all sentient beings. Happy Vesak
Day!
