Day which falls on Tibetan 30th is known as the merits
multiplying day. On this day all positive and negative
actions are multiplied by 100,000 times. This is also a day
for one to practice precepts taking and accumulate lots of
wholesome activities.
On this
auspicious day, our centre has arranged two programs for
devotees to join us in accumulating and dedicating of
merits.
1)
Lives
Release at open sea
(Meet 9.30am at Changi Ferry Terminal)
Saving
the lives of animals on the verge of being killed is
considered an 'intensified' virtuous activity, resulting in
the accumulation of merits which surpasses many others.
Sponsors as well as participants of this event will acquire
great merits that will help to clear one’s obstacles and
enhance one’s life span.
The cost
of boat trip is S$15.00 per person.

New Centre Development
Our new
centre has started the interior renovation on 3 August 2006.
On that day Khenpo Jurme Kunzang Rinpoche, together with two
visiting Rinpoches and our centre’s Lamas, conducted a
blessing ceremony at our new centre before the actual
commencement of work. The expected completion date will be
end of October 2006 .
As the
expenses and costs of renovating our new centre are
extremely high, we are shortage of funds. Our required
Dharma materials and the costs of renovating our new centre
will still need approximately another S$300,000.
Therefore we are requesting people from all walks of life to
donate generosity as the effort put in for this meritorious
fund-raising event will provide a much bigger, better and a
more conducive environment for spiritual practice. All
donations received will entirely goes to our new centre
building funds and renovations costs. Please refer to the
attached sponsorship form.
Anyone who
wishes to volunteer themselves in shifting the centre's
belongings or could provide some form of transportations
(e.g. lorry) please kindly contact Mr. Yeo at 91069778
or email to
palyulsg@palyulsg.org. Shifting will either
be on 1st or 2nd week of November 2006.
