Description
Buddhists believe chanting sutras and repenting can cleanse karma created from bad deeds and can cultivate immeasurable merits. During the ceremony, devotees invoke the Buddha’s compassionate power to help themselves and the departed learn the Buddha’s teachings, make amends for their past wrongdoing, and liberate themselves from suffering. The effect of the participants’ good intentions and the monastics’ power accumulated through observing the precepts is inconceivable. Memorial ceremonies are a significant way to bless the departed so they can be free from suffering and quickly attain Buddhahood.
