We are honoured to introduce our new Memorial Food Offering Service, available at the Medicine Buddha Prayer Hall in Kechara Forest Retreat. To meet different needs and budgets, we offer three packages, each designed with sincerity and care.
Choose from 3 Service Durations
- One-time Offering — Ideal for commemorating special dates such as death anniversaries, birthdays, Qing Ming, Ullambana or other significant occasions.
- Every 7th Day Offering — To support the departed during the 49-day journey in the bardo (intermediate state between death and rebirth).
- Daily 49-Day Offering — The most complete support for the deceased during the crucial bardo period when merits are especially powerful.
Benefits for the Departed
- Creates positive karma to aid their peaceful transition.
- Generates merits that can reduce suffering and obstacles in the bardo.
- Increases the chances of a fortunate rebirth.
Benefits for Family & Loved Ones
- Brings comfort and peace of mind knowing you’ve done something meaningful.
- Strengthens spiritual connection with the departed through prayers and offerings.
- Creates collective family merits that blesses future generations.
Why Choose Our Memorial Food Offering Service?
- Authentic Buddhist Practice — Food is offered directly to the Buddhas with traditional prayers and rituals.
- Merits Multiplied — Both the deceased and family benefit through the blessings of the Three Jewels.
- Convenient & Complete — Performed on your behalf at Kechara Forest Retreat’s sacred Medicine Buddha Prayer Hall.
This is a profound act of love, gratitude and filial piety — a way to care for your loved ones beyond this life.
P.S. The Memorial Food Offering is one of the services available at our Relic Temple Memorial Hall, where families can honour the memory of their loved ones in a sacred, peaceful environment.
