Sharing many similarities with the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival\, this period for honouring ancestors is observed by Buddhists from all traditions with offerings of feasts and prayers for the deceased. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Origins of Ullambana\nMaudgalyayana\, one of Buddha Shakyamuni’s chief disciples\, saw with his clairvoyance that his beloved mother had been reborn as a Hungry Ghost (preta) in the lower realms. She had a thin long neck\, a huge belly and was always starving. When he tried to feed her\, the food he offered turned into burning coals as soon as it touched her tiny mouth. \nDistressed\, he sought Buddha’s advice on how best to liberate his mother from such a woeful state. Buddha advised Maudgalyayana to make extensive offerings to the Sangha on the 15th day of the 7th month\, saying: \n\n“Your mother’s offences are deep and firmly rooted. You alone do not have enough power… The awesome spiritual power of the assembled Sangha of the ten directions is necessary for liberation to be attained.” \n\nThis was the beginning of the Buddhist Ullambana Festival. \n\n  \n\n\nThe Ullambana Festival\nJoin us at the annual Ullambana Festival in Kechara Forest Retreat for virtuous\, merit-generating activities and make the most of the auspicious Ullambana month from 29 July to 27 August\, 2022. \n  \nEvent Details\n\nAugust 13 (Saturday)\n10.00 am: Grand Ullambana Gyenze Puja for good fortune\, long life & merits\n2.30 pm: Grand Ullambana Trakze Puja for protection & blessings\nKechara Forest Retreat\n\n  \nThe highlight of the Ullambana Festival is two powerful & extensive pujas on August 13 (Saturday) to generate merits and remove obstacles according to the tradition of Gaden Monastery. \nThe morning starts with a Grand Ullambana Gyenze Puja that draws upon the powerful wealth-attracting energies of Gyenze\, the increase form of Dorje Shugden\, to swiftly increase lifespan\, material resources\, merit\, spiritual realisations\, and all that is good. Gyenze’s puja can help improve your financial situation\, bring you inner wealth\, and create the causes for you to be free from spiritual and material poverty. \nIn the afternoon\, a Grand Ullambana Trakze Puja will be performed to draw upon the intense\, ferocious and swift energies of Trakze\, the most wrathful form of Dorje Shugden. Trakze’s puja offers powerful protection from harm\, accidents\, unseen beings\, spirit disturbances and black magic\, purifies heavy negative karma and overcomes the most challenging obstacles. \nExtensive offerings and prayers will be made during the pujas\, just like how it is done traditionally in the monastery\nMemorial and dedication tablets during the Ullambana Festival at Kechara Forest Retreat\n  \n\n\nUllambana Offerings\nSend bountiful merits to the people who matter in your life with our traditional Ullambana tablets and offerings.
