2026 盂兰盆节供僧植福活动 Ullambana Festival Sangha Offering
About this Event
值此盂兰盆节来临之际，诚邀您携同家人好友，亲临道场发心供养僧众，以此殊胜功德，回向现世父母福寿安康、历代祖先离苦得乐，并普愿一切众生同沾法益、共证菩提。
每年农历七月十五是佛教盂兰盆节，也是大众孝亲报恩、广修供养、培植福田的重要日子。依佛制，僧众于夏安居三个月圆满后，在这一天自恣，检讨修行、策励道业。由于僧团清净和合，佛陀见弟子们道业增上，心生欢喜，因此这一天又称为佛欢喜日。
《盂兰盆经》记载，目犍连尊者为了报答母恩，于佛欢喜日设盂兰盆供，供养十方僧众，并将供僧功德回向已故母亲，使其离苦得乐。从此，盂兰盆供僧成为佛教流传至今的重要传统。
在佛欢喜日发心供养僧众，供养饮食、衣物、医药、卧具及僧团所需等，不仅能够广植福田、增长福慧，更能将供养功德回向父母、祖先及一切众生，成就孝亲报恩、自利利他的广大善行。
供养三宝，福慧增长；
孝亲报恩，功德无量。

As the Ullambana Festival approaches, we warmly invite you to come along with your family and friends to make offerings to the Sangha. Through this wholesome act, may we dedicate the merits to the well-being and good health of our parents in this present life; to relieve our ancestors of suffering and bring them peace and happiness; and may all sentient beings benefit from the Dharma and attain enlightenment.
The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month marks the Ullambana Festival. It is an important occasion for expressing filial piety, practising generosity in offerings, and cultivating merits.
The monastic community gathers on this day after the three-month Rain Retreat is completed, reflecting on their practice and encouraging one another. The Buddha rejoiced, seeing the monastics in harmony and witnessing the progress of his disciples on the path. Hence, this day is also known as Buddha's Joyful Day.
The Ullambana Sutra recounts how Venerable Maudgalyāyana, wishing to repay his mother's kindness, made offerings to the monastics of the ten directions on Buddha's Joyful Day. He then dedicated the merits to his departed mother, enabling her to be freed from suffering and attain peace and happiness. Since then, the Ullambana offering to the Sangha has become a Buddhist tradition.
Making offerings to the Sangha on Buddha's Joyful Day—including food, robes, medicine and other requisites for the monastic community—not only enables one to cultivate abundant merit and wisdom, but also allows the merits to be dedicated to one's parents, ancestors, and all sentient beings. In this way, one fulfills the noble practice of repaying kindness, benefiting oneself and others alike.
By making offerings to the Triple Gem, may merit and wisdom increase.
By honoring our parents and repaying their kindness, may immeasurable merits be attained.
