Spreading love and blessings to the world in turmoil — Report of the Qing Ming Blessing and Soul-Relieving Ceremonies

By Kira

While the COVID-19 pandemic is endangering the globe, a series of Blessing and Soul-Relieving Ceremonies have been launched to shine light on the world with love by the compassionate Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and his disciples. On the date of April 5th, 2020, the ceremonies were held at three locations: Guang Huan Mi Zong Holy Mountain Buddha Land, Guanyin Holy Mountain, and Hong Kong Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple. These rituals were intended for all the deceased medical workers and patients, with no distinction to nationality, as well as sending blessings and prayers to all beings in the world.

Preachers are chanting before the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue. With the Joss Sticks lit, their chanting and prayers were heard by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Thus the blessings and powerful energy nourished the earth from the divine beings.

The vows and chanting are for the pandemic to be ended, for souls of the deceased to be relieved, and for all predestinated sentient beings in the world to enjoy peace and happiness.

We hope that this COVID-19 pandemic will come to an end in the near future, and all beings will enjoy the beautiful sunlight and smiles again. We also hope that more people will have the chance to listen to Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi’s teachings and learn the precious Guang Huan Mi Zong Health Dharma, which has incredible effects in improving their immune systems and developing their potential, so that the dream of “Human Health, World Peace, and Religious Harmony” can be realized.
