The Great Book of Protection
(Catubhāṇavārapāli)

This book contains Parittas and Suttas that are recited during MV’s full-moon and new-moon services, Chinese New Year, Vesak Day, Sanghamitta Day, and Saturdays.

It is also recited to invoke blessings for the sick and those hospitalized. The Aṅgulimala Paritta recitation
on the first Saturday of each month is to invoke blessings and protection for expectant mothers and their baby.

大护卫经
(Catubhāṇavārapāli)

每逢农历年除夕,祝福寺也会在午夜十二点前念诵The Mahāsamaya Sutta (The Great Assembly of Deities) 大集合经;阴历的十二月十五是 Sanghamitta Day, 由女众念诵此经.

每逢星期六,祝福寺就在晚课后在菩提树下念诵三部觉支经- 摩诃迦叶长老觉支经;摩 诃目键连长老觉支经;摩诃纯陀长老觉支经,为生病和住院的人祈福。另外,在每个月的 第一个星期六,祝福寺也会念诵鸯掘利摩罗经为孕妇和未生的孩子祈福和寻求保护。

Maranasati
(with English translation)

The Buddha said “A virtuous one should practise the following four-fold protective meditations namely, reflection on the Buddha, loving-kindness, unsatisfactoriness and on death”.

These stanzas are chanted during funeral service as a way to give spiritual and emotional supports to the family of the deceased.

死随念
Maranasati
(with Chinese translation)

佛说:“贤者应修此四护卫禅 — 佛随念、慈心观、不净观与死随念。”

丧礼本身的意义何在? 它是佛教徒给予往生者家属精神上的支柱。
