Dana, the practice of generosity, is one of the cornerstones of Buddhist teachings, along with sila and bhavana. As we faced challenging times of the pandemic, we hope you continue to stay safe and healthy, nurtured by your merits, cared for and protected by the merits that you have accrued.
May the blessings of the Tripe Gem be with you always.
The Vihara offers two ways to devotees to offer meal Dana following the norms of social distancing:
- Offering food in person at the Vihara (keep in mind social distancing)
- Offering food via food delivery service
We invite devotees who wish to offer food, whether in person or through food delivery service, to book a slot in the calendar below, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Kindly note Dana starts at 8.00 am.
Your understanding and cooperation is most appreciated. Sabbe sankhara anicca – all conditioned things are impermanent.
Instruction: To book a slot, click on the date(s) that you wish to offer dana on the calendar, followed by your name, phone number, gender and press “Book Now”. The system caters for one-day booking or a few consecutive days. If you wish to come offer Dana for one day this week and another day next week, you will need to make the booking twice.
布施是慷慨之实践，与持戒和禅修一样，是佛教的基本教义之一。在面对疫情挑战的时期，我们祈望您安康无恙，并受自己所累积的功德滋养、呵护和护持。
愿您无时无刻都获得三宝的护佑。
为了遵守新常态下所制定的社交安全距离准则，本寺为在家众提供了以下两种供僧方式：
无论是想通过送餐服务或亲临本寺供养食物的善信，请按照“先到先得”的原则，在以下的日历预约。

对于您的谅解与配合，我们深表感激。 Sabbe sankhara anicca – 所有因缘条件和合的事物都是无常的。

OFFERING MEAL DANA IN PERSON AT THE VIHARA
Offering meals to the Sangha in person at the Vihara will be carried out in a limited manner during the period of SOP and social distancing. Please book a slot in the calendar. The number 3 indicates the number of people allowed each day. Kindly note that Dana starts at 8.00 am.
亲临寺院供养食物
在遵守标准作业程序和保持社交安全距离期间，本寺将限制亲临寺院供养食物给僧侣的人数。有意者请在日历上预约。数字3是每天允许供僧的人数。敬请注意，供僧时间为上午8点开始。
OFFERING MEAL DANA VIA FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE
There is no restriction on the maximum number of offerings, the number 7 indicated in the booking system is just a guide for the booking app to work. It will show you how many people are sending food delivery on that particular day and you can choose a day which has less offerings.
通过送餐服务供养食物
食物供养的数量不受限制。预订系统中显示的数字7只是预订应用程序正常工作的指南，它会向您显示在该特定日期提供送餐服务供僧的人数，您可以选择在较少人供养的那一天提供送餐服务。
