The ceremony of offering funeral robes and dedicating merit to dead relatives
The Pubbapeta Bali Ceremony is held every big holy day. Dhammakaya Temple wants Buddhists to recall their good deeds by giving, observing the five precepts, and mediating more. They will have another chance to keep their action, speech and mind clear, bright, and pure. For the Buddhists, it is the chance to do good deeds, don’t do bad deeds and make their mind bright obviously such as keeping the 8 precepts. A lot of people joined these ceremonies.
