Announcement: 5th Universal Medicine Buddha Mantra-Puja
At the Enlightened Heart Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Tambun, a Universal Medicine Buddha Mantra-Puja will be held this October 18, for the fifth year.
Since there is more time for the temple committee to prepare, this year’s mantra-puja is expected to be better and bigger, drawing a larger crowd of devotees as well.
Additionally, the ritual will be more elaborate, incorporating the carrying of Buddhist idols on the devotees’ backs to eradicate bad karma.
Listed below is the programme* for the fifth Universal Medicine Buddha Mantra-Puja at Enlightened Heart Tibetan Buddhist Temple.
Date: 18th October, 2017 (Deepavali)
10am – Lighting of oil lamps, mantra & puja + enhancing luck for devotees
11.30am – Sunning of Medicinal Buddha thangka
12 noon – Complimentary vegetarian lunch will be served
1pm – Liberation of lives – release birds, fish, etc.

During this festival, I wish everyone that attend it will receive abundance of good luck, health and wealth. ^^
Wow this seems very interesting. Especially the activity of releasing birds, fish and such. Hope to be apart of this as i also celebrate deepavali and do believe in Buddhism.
The Medicinal Buddha thangka is gigantic.. and it is always interesting seeing these kind of events… cultural x tradition…
