Qing Ming as a Family Tradition

Is it necessary to pass on the culture of participating in traditional festivals?
How does Buddhism explain family life and companionship?
Everything can be an attachment, and in Samsara, nothing really works.
Understanding these in the right view, we can truly understand and feel ourselves, thus developing true realization from our practices.

亲情。清明。

Qing Ming - Season of Gratitude & Remembrance

Let us remember and express gratitude to our departed loved ones, something we pass down to our next generation - the precious virtue of filial piety and the importance of treasuring kinship.

"I am not familiar with the rites"

Many from the younger generation find it hard to understand the purpose of the chanting rites. Many are foreign to the culture or unfamiliar with the prayers. It is very important for us to share with you that these should not stop you from stepping up and finding out more with us. With our qualified Sangha and many seniors who are always ready to help answer your query, come spend time with us as we find both understanding and personal meaning in the prayers, chanting and rites.

Remembering Qing Ming

The Qing Ming Festival may be a traditional Chinese festival, deeply rooted in the Chinese culture, but it is not just an occasion where we give reverence to own ancestors. It is also a time where we dedicate prayers to our loved ones who have passed on, and to remember and share our love with those who are karmically linked to us. Come join us as we perform both Tibetan and Chinese transmigratory prayers for all sentient beings.
