Lamp Offerring
Lamp Offering
Lighting the Unperished Lamp of Luminance
As an Offering to the Buddhas of the Ten Directions
This Removes Misfortune and Increases Our Merits and Wisdom
Thus Preserving the Perpetual Flow of Our Merits and Life
The lamps will be offered at the Grand Illuminating Hall of the Center
The sutra says that offering a lamp of light to the Buddha has boundless virtue. We will have magnificent appearances in future lifetimes and always have a joyous mind. We will be free from illness and live long, have great wisdom, and attain nirvana.
To facilitate the practice of offering and its practitioners to gain merits, Chung Tai Zen Center of Houston provides an opportunity to the public to light up the lamps. We dedicate these merits to the peace and security of our families, to the increase of our merit and wisdom, and to our health and well-being. We also dedicate the merits to social harmony, to the prosperity of our country and our fellow citizens, and to world peace.
The lamps will be offered at the Grand Illuminating Hall of the Center. The Lamp of Illumination is offered from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 and the donation amount is $80 per individual and $100 per family. The Lamp of Blessing is offered from January 1, 2011 to February 28, 2011 and the donation amount is $40 per individual and $60 per family.
