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\n\nYour 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\n\n  \n  \nThis was the beginning of the Buddhist Ullambana Festival. \n  \nTraditional offerings at the Grand Ullambana Puja to overcome obstacles and attract favourable conditions. \n\n Ullambana candle and incense offerings at Kechara Forest Retreat\n\n Memorial tablets dedicated to the dearly departed\, unborn children and karmic debtors.\nUllambana Offerings\n Remove obstacles and send great merits to those gone beyond and to the people who matter in your life.

Known as Uma in Tibetan\, Madhyamaka thought is founded on the doctrine of emptiness or Shunyata — that all phenomena are empty of inherent nature. \nThis philosophical system was first articulated by the 2nd century Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna\, and later by other masters such as Chandrakirti\, Shantideva\, Aryadeva and Longchenpa. \nIn the 15th century\, Lama Tsongkhapa distilled the essence of Nagarjuna’s philosophy and founded a unique lineage through which many rapidly gained special insight. These teachings on Nagarjuna’s view of emptiness were so significant that Dorje Shugden arose as a Dharma Protector principally to assist and safeguard this uncommon lineage. \nEvent Details\n\nSep 8\, 2026 (Tue)\n3.00 pm – 5.00 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree admission\, please RSVP here.\n\nBenefits for sponsors and attendees\n\nDispels obstacles of the present and future\nCreates causes to eliminate obscurations and delusions\nCreates causes to realise emptiness\nPlants seeds of ultimate wisdom\n\nHow to contribute\nWe seek your kind sponsorship to cover the cost of this puja’s offerings\, ritual substances\, and dana for the Sangha conducting the puja. \nNames of the Grand & Diamond Sponsors for this puja will be read in monastic style during the puja.  \n\nOrdinary sponsor: RM50\nSpecial sponsor: RM150\nBronze sponsor: RM300\nSilver sponsor: RM750\nGold sponsor: RM1\,500\nDiamond sponsor: RM3\,000\nGrand sponsor: RM5\,000\n\nDonate online via the Tsem Rinpoche Parinirvana Anniversary Fund or WhatsApp us at wa.me/60103020999.
