ABLS will host Huayen offerings to Buddhas and celestial beings Dharma event and Chinese New Year Cundī blessing service from February 21st, 2021 (Sunday) through February 28th, 2021 (Sunday).

On each day from February 22nd (Monday) through February 27th (Saturday), the assembly will chant the Cundī Sutra and Cundī Mantra (Incantation) from 4:30 to 6 PM.

On the last day of February 28th starting at 9 AM, the congregation will practice the Cundī Repentance and Cundī Mantra in the morning; Cundī Sutra, Eighty-Eight Buddha Repentance, and Meng Shan Food Bestowal Ceremony in the afternoon.

Because the pandemic continues to spread, the Main Hall will be closed to the public for now. For those who want to make offerings and pay respect to the deceased, please visit on Saturdays (9:30 – 16:00) and Sundays (11:15 – 12:00) and pay respect at the courtyard South of the Main Hall. Be sure to wear Face Masks when coming here. Please note that on each Sunday during the weekly Dharma Practice, the Main Hall doors facing the South courtyard will only open during the Offering Ceremony at noon (11:15 – 12:00) due to the cold and the wind.

In addition, registration has begun for the following 2021 yearlong services: offerings to the Triple Gem, blessing plates for the living, light offerings to Buddha, pacifying Tai Sui (for the birth year of the Ox, Goat, Horse, Dog, and Dragon) and blessing plates for the deceased.
