On Sep. 13, 2020, HH Living Buddha Lian-sheng Will Conduct a Life Essence Burial Ceremony at Rainbow Temple!
On Sunday, September 13, 2020, at 11:00 AM, our compassionate Root Lineage Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu will conduct a Life Essence Burial Ceremony at Rainbow Temple.
Participants should provide the “life essence” required for the Life Essence Burial Ceremony to Rainbow Temple no later than September 6. Rainbow Temple cannot guarantee that life essence received after the September 6 deadline will be in time for burial and blessing in ceremony. Therefore, to avoid missing out on this rare and wonderful opportunity, we urge everyone to mail the required life essence to Rainbow Temple as soon as possible .
The following are the life essence required for the ceremony: fingernails, toenails, a small amount of hair, and a small piece of one’s well-used undershirt and/or underwear. Please seal the life essence in a small bag of any color. The ideal size of the bag should be about the size of a red offering envelope.
We expect a large amount of life essence mail for the ceremony. Participants can help facilitate the registration process as follows:
Please note “Life Essence Burial Registration” on the exterior of the mailing envelope. The registrant’s name and date of birth should be written on the exterior of the envelope containing life essence. Do not include life essence and the ceremony offering in one envelope. They should be in separate envelopes. Disciples residing in the US and Canada may provide the ceremony offering by personal check. The offering can also be made online by credit card or by enclosing an international money order in US dollars. Please name Rainbow Temple as payee of the check or money order.
We don’t typically reply to Life Essence mail. If a reply is requested, please note “reply needed” in the letter and provide a clearly legible return address. Rainbow Temple is not responsible for any mail which can’t be processed or delivered due to problems with the return address.
Please do not include dharma ceremony registration forms or requests which are the responsibility of True Buddha Foundation (TBF) such as requests for registration, spiritual consultation, blessings, or a talisman in mail intended for the Life Essence Burial Ceremony. Life Essence Burial mail must only contain items pertaining to Life Essence. Rainbow Temple will not respond to requests which are the responsibility of TBF and should be sent directly to TBF.
We appreciate your cooperation!
