SUMMARY:Nov 9 2024 Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes Purification\, Blessing\, Magnetization\, Bardo Fire Homa Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes Purification\, Blessing\, Magnetization\, Bardo Fire Homa Ceremony\nLocation: \nLotus Light Temple (347 E Hastings St\, Vancouver)\n Ceremony Time: November 9\, 2024 Saturday 10:30am – 12:30pm\n \nIntroduction / Dedication \n Who Is Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes? \nGolden Mother has Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes. She also has 10 billion emanations. \nHer mantra\, “Om\, jin-mu-sid-dhi\, da-mo\, seh”\, represents purification of speech\, her mudra represents purification of body\, and visualization of Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes represents purification of mind. Therefore\, one’s visualization represents purification of body speech\, and mind. The purpose of cultivation\, after all\, is purification of body\, speech\, and mind. \nGolden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes has a golden body\, wears a phoenix crown\, is sublimely beautiful\, and sits upon a Dharma throne. Her right hand holds a whisk and her left hand holds a peach. Her infinite hands have infinite eyes. 24 of the infinite hands hold 24 Amitabha Buddhas. Among the Dharma instruments she holds are a treasure pot\, a writing brush\, a sutra\, and a Ruyi. \n(True Buddha Dharma-character Treasury – Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes) \nGolden Mother’s infinite hands benefit all TBS disciples. Her infinite eyes respond to and save those who are suffering. Today\, there is a very powerful wealth deity\, Padmakumara\, the Great Fortune Vajra. Since relying on Golden Mother of the Jade Pond\, all my wishes have been fulfilled. \n  \nBy praying to Golden Mother with Infinite Hands and Eyes\, all one’s wishes will come true. One can pray to her to perfectly fulfill all one’s wishes for sentient beings\, and at the same time\, the wealth deity will pay a visit to one’s home. \n  \n~ Extract from His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng’s dharma talk\, Jan 8th 2023 \nAbout This Ceremony:\nFire homa offerings are one of the most powerful ways of showing our loving devotion to the compassionate Guru and deities above\, and extending our loving-kindness to fellow beings suffering in Samsara. They enable us to make vast offerings in a short space of time using the medium of fire to transfer the physical realm into the spiritual dimension. The powerful and compassionate Golden Mother can fulfill one’s prayer and wishes\, benefiting all registrants and participants in the human world and netherworld. Those living will be blessed and those in the spirit realm can attain liberation. \nRegular participation in fire homa accumulates merit\, strengthens our affinity and bestows blessings that make this and all our future lives more auspicious. This creates the right conditions for us to maintain cultivation until reaching enlightenment. His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng teaches that all True Buddha School students should increase their good fortune and merits by joining fire homa. \nAll ceremony registrations are on a voluntary donation basis.
