On the fifteenth day of the third lunar month (01/05/2026), Than Hsiang Temple held a recitation of the Amitābha Sūtra and a noon offering ceremony in the Main Shrine Hall to commemorate the memorial prayer service for the Late Venerable Bo Yuan.

Coinciding with May 1st, Labor Day, many devotees came to the temple to offer LED lights, pay homage to the Buddha, and participate in chanting and the noon offering ceremony.

At approximately 10:15 a.m., Most Venerable Wei Wu, together with other Sangha members, led everyone in chanting the “Praise of the Lotus Pond”, reciting the Amitābha Sūtra , the Amitābha Gatha and the Amitābha name.

After the noon offering ceremony, everyone followed the Sangha members to the Ancestral Hall for the dedication of merit.As it was the full moon day of the lunar month, after making the merit dedication in the ancestral hall, we then proceeded to the Great Compassion Hall to dedicate the merits for the perpetual lamp offering, and finally to the San Sheng Dian for the final dedication. With this, the entire ceremony concluded successfully.
