Dear all kind believers,

    为庆祝阿弥陀佛圣诞，山东省博山正觉寺将于农历十一月初十至十七（公历2017年12月27日至2018年1月3日）举行大悲甘露法会，同时还有斋天、大蒙山施食法会、朝山、放生、授三皈五戒、普佛等佛事活动。
In order to celebrate Amitabha Buddha's Birthday, Shandong Boshan Zhengjue Monastery will hold a Sweet Dew of The Great Compassion Mantra Dharma Assembly from December 27th, 2017 to 3rd, January, 2018 (10th, Nov. to 17th Nov. according to the Lunar Calendar). Meanwhile, there will be other traditional Buddhist ceremonies like the Rite of worshiping heavenly Gods, the Tremendous Mengshan ceremony of giving food to hungry ghosts, the Prostration of the Main Shrine, freeing captive creatures, conferring precepts on new believers etc.

    阿弥陀佛又名无量光佛、无量寿佛等，是佛教寺院大雄宝殿三尊主佛之一。大乘经载，阿弥陀佛在过去久远劫时出家名法藏比丘，立大愿，建立极乐净土，广度无边众生，成就无量庄严功德。《佛说无量寿经》《佛说阿弥陀经》《佛说观无量寿佛经》等经典对阿弥陀佛及其西方极乐世界均有详述。
Amitābha means "Infinite Light", so Amitābha is also called "The Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Light", is one of the three main Buddhas in the Great Mighty Sacred Hall of the Buddhist temple. Recorded in the Mahayana Buddhist sutra, in very ancient times, Amitabha was a monk named Dharmakāra and resolved to build the Pure Land to take across sentient beings universally and make the infinite solemn merit and virtue. Amitabha and the Western Pure Land are detailed in the Larger Sūtra of Immeasurable Life, the Shorter Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra, the Amitāyurdhyāna Sūtra, and other sutras.

    承阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨大悲愿力与大威神力加持，愿大众消除业障，身心安泰，福慧增长，早证菩提。并回向世界和平，国运昌隆，风调雨顺，社会和谐，人民安乐，六时吉祥。
The purpose of these activities is to draw support from the willpower out of great compassion, the prestige and the magical power of Amitabha Buddha and Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva to expiate the sins of the dead relatives and foes as well as debtors, to relieve the souls of one’s ancestors from purgatory, redress past wrongs and enable one’s deceased family members to be reborn in a good place. May all the participants enjoy the freedom of no obstacles, tranquil state of body and mind, an increase in the level of wisdom and good fortune, early attainment of enlightenment! Best wishes to world peace, national prosperity, good weather, harmonious society, happy and healthy people and blissful days.
