The Raṭṭhapāla Sutta reminds us that the world is impermanent and nothing truly belongs to us. Wealth, youth, health, and status can vanish at any moment. Since we must eventually leave everything behind, it is wise to live with mindfulness and kindness rather than attachment and greed. What truly matters are the wholesome actions we perform and the character we develop. By understanding the fleeting nature of life, we learn to focus on what brings genuine happiness and freedom.

Prayer, Blessing, and Merit-Sharing Ceremony

The Karuna Buddhist Society (KBS) today organized a special prayer and blessing ceremony dedicated to the well-being of Upāsikā Tatu Chakma of New York, who is presently facing a serious illness.

Devotees gathered to make offerings, chant the sacred teachings of the Buddha, and perform various meritorious deeds. The merits generated through these wholesome actions were wholeheartedly dedicated to Upāsikā Tatu Chakma with sincere wishes for her health, strength, and recovery.

At the same time, these merits were also lovingly shared with the late Suchitra Bijoy Dewan, the maternal uncle of Upāsak Susim Dewan, who passed away today in Bangladesh.

May Upāsikā Tatu Chakma receive the blessings and strength arising from these merits. May she be free from illness and suffering, regain her health, and enjoy a speedy recovery.

May the departed Suchitra Bijoy Dewan receive these merits, be freed from all suffering, and attain a fortunate and peaceful rebirth.

By the power of these wholesome deeds and the blessings of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Saṅgha, may all beings be happy, healthy, and at peace.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā — May all beings be happy.

This illuminated LED halo, symbolizing the radiant aura of the Buddha, represents boundless wisdom, spiritual purity, compassion, and the enlightened qualities of a Fully Awakened One.

It was generously donated to KBS Vihara by the devoted devotees Upasak Atish Dewn and Upasika Jayatri Roy.

May the merits of this wholesome offering bring them and their family happiness, good health, success, peace, and prosperity, and may it support their progress on the Noble Path toward the supreme bliss of Nibbāna.
