【TBSN Rainbow Temple News】
Compassionate Root Lineage Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu will conduct another Sheng Ji (Life Essence Burial) Ceremony at Rainbow Temple on Sunday, September 1, 2019!

Everyone please deliver the ''life essence'' required for the Sheng Ji Ceremony to Rainbow Temple by Aug. 25. Rainbow Temple cannot guarantee that life essence received after Aug. 25 will be buried and blessed in time for the Sheng Ji Ceremony conducted by Grandmaster. Therefore, we urge everyone to mail the required life essence to Rainbow Temple as soon as possible to avoid missing this great opportunity.

The life essence required for the Sheng Ji ceremony is: fingernails, toenails, a small amount of hair, and a small piece cut off from one's well-used undershirt and/or underwear. Please seal all the life essence in a small envelope about the size of a small red offering envelope. The envelope containing life essence can be any color. In addition, please note your name and birthdate on the life essence envelope.

As we expect a large number of envelopes will be delivered to us, participants can speed up processing and make it more effective by helping as follows:
1. Please note ''Sheng Ji'' on the outer mailing envelope and on the envelope containing life essence for the burial ceremony as well. Use a separate red envelope for offerings to Grandmaster.
2. We will not reply to any Sheng Ji mail. If a reply is requested, please note ''reply needed'' and provide a clearly legible self-addressed return envelope. Rainbow Temple is not responsible for any mail which can't be processed due to problems with the return address.
3. Please do not include any other requests such as requests for registration, spiritual consultation, blessings, or a talisman in the mail intended for the Sheng Ji Ceremony. The Sheng Ji mail must only contain objects pertaining to Sheng Ji. Rainbow Temple is not responsible for any ''other requests'' mentioned above. These ''other requests'' should be mailed directly to True Buddha Foundation.
We appreciate your cooperation!
