“He who reveres those worthy of reverence, the Buddhas and their
disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond the
reach of sorrow and lamentation – he who reveres such peaceful and
fearless ones, his merit none can compute by any measure.” (Dhammapada
v195- 196)
According to the Sutra of Generosity, one can benefit in these five
areas – beauty, strength, longevity, happiness and eloquence – by making
offerings to the Triple Gem. Venerable Maudgalyayana and Emperor Liang
had offered food to the Sangha on behalf of their loved ones to help
them be liberated from the three lower realms.
Offering alms to the Sangha is a meritorious act and allows them to
concentrate on their learning, practising and sharing of the Buddha’s
teachings. The monastery has introduced offering packages for devotees
to choose from. For devotees who would like to make monetary donations
during the alms and Sangha’s offering, please approach our Front Office.
All donations will be utilised for the building and funding of
Buddhist College of Singapore.
