Sixteen Arhats Puja Print E-mail

Shakyamuni Buddha
Shakyamuni Buddha
With this puja we call upon Shakyamuni Buddha and the 16 Arhats to continue to shower their compassion and protection upon sentient beings in samsara and ask them not to pass into Nirvana.  We praise the Arhats and pray that they bless our glorious gurus with long lives and ask for their help so that the Dharma may flourish everywhere.  Participants can bring fruits, cookies, flowers, candles, etc. for the altar.

Everyone is welcome to join the prayers
