Light a lamp of heart to welcome the blessings of the New Year

– Anfu Monastery invites you to celebrate the auspicious Chinese New Year together

Dear Dharma Friends,

As the New Year approaches, everything is renewed. In this hopeful and blessed season, Anfu Monastery invites you to make light offerings to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas during the Chinese New Year. It is dedicated to praying for peace, compassion, wisdom, and abundant blessings for all living beings.

Light offering symbolizes more than just illumination—it lights the path ahead and kindles the inner light within each of us, ushering in a New Year filled with hope, clarity, and inspiration.

Significance of Light Offering

In the Buddhist culture, a lamp symbolizes brightness and wisdom, representing the dispelling of darkness and troubles and guiding the path to enlightenment. By lighting lamps and making offerings, devotees pray for the health and success of their families, as well as illuminating compassion and wisdom for all sentient beings.

To Participate

We sincerely invite you to visit us and make light offerings in person. You may also donate online for light offerings, wishing for brilliance and harmony for yourself and your family.

  • On-site: please visit the reception at Anfu Monastery

**You are welcome to donate any amount that feels comfortable for you. 
**One person or family per lamp.

May the light shine in all directions, bringing blessings and wisdom to guide you always. We look forward to welcoming the auspicious moments of the New Year with you!
