8-5-2011 富贵山庄Nirvana Memorial Garden

There is about 25 of us who attended the event.

Notice the majority wearing the ceremonial yellow robe?
We truly want to let GM & all Divinities know we are serious in dedicating our time to sutra dedication & please bless us & fulfill our wishes to help all sentient beings.

The offerings sponsor by Lotus yewsin & Annie include 50packets of 2.5kg rice & 10 cartons of cream crackers. [These as usual donated to Lotus Light Charity Singapore for distribution to the needies.]
Others sponsored the incense & fruits & etc for this event.

Look at the left hand side of above photo, there is a large Light Orb there.

Each one of us took turns to pass through the 5-colored lamps for the 5 Great Achievement. These signified purity, increase in wealth & health, friendliness, suppression of 3 poisons, Dharma treasures.

We had a snack party after the event.

Nirvana is doing a certain Charity Drive for Ren Ci hospital.
Each of us given 3 chances to throw the Crescents.
A consecutive 5 sheng-bei [one face up & one face down] - one get a $388 package to offer a Buddha or Boddhisattva for a year.

Lotus William got 5 shengbei.

I got EIGHT in a row!!!! $1388 package & I chose Amitabha Buddha dedicating to Living Buddha Lian Sheng with my name Lotuschef below. I also chose one on LEVEL 20 - the topmost level!
HAHA!
How did I do it?
Well, you see me standing there? That's Ksitigarbha hand mudra I am forming.
I said "HI" to Amitabha then Avalokitesvara on his left & then Ksitigarbha on his Right.
Then I kneel down & talk to Mayura.
I threw the crescents after chanting Mayura's mantra once each time.
WORKS!!!Haha!!!

We all had great fun!!

Come join us in sharing & dedicating Dharma & Dharani to all sentient beings, especially those who needed bardo deliverance too.
This is also a form of Boddhicitta which GM stresses continuously for us all to practice.
