"It is always the case that there are many students that have no time or very little time to do practice. They are always too busy. Such people can be encouraged to make regular or extensive offerings for the Amitabha Buddha puja. In this way they are able to accumulate merit."
For this Amitabha prayer, we are looking for 3 sponsors for each day from December 3 to December 5, 2010. We suggested that each sponsor offers $300 which includes flower offerings, butter lamp offerings, water bowl offerings, and meals offering for the public.
常常聽一些師兄姊言及日子實在太忙，以至於沒有時間或僅有少許時間參加法會。這樣的情形如果發生在您身上，您可用供養阿彌陀佛法會的方式，累積您的功德。

The result of making offerings to the Buddha Amitabha with pure faith and devotion, is that our negative karma and obscurations will diminish. In this life, we will experience happiness, success and we will develop of positive qualities. At the time of our death, Amitabha, along with Bodhisattvas, will welcome us in his Pure Land of with a rain of flowers and melodious music. Being reborn in this pure land will enable us to accomplish the path easily and without obstacles.
