16 Arhat Puja
16 Arhat Puja
This is a beautiful practice inviting the blessings of the 16 Arhats for the continuation of the teachings of the Buddha in this world.
Time and Date
Saturday 16 November, 6pm @ MBC
Monday 16 December, 7pm @ MBC
At MBC, we gather monthly to engage in the meaningful and enriching practice of the 16 Arhat Puja. The 16 Arhats, enlightened disciples of the Buddha, have vowed to remain in the world to protect the Dharma and benefit sentient beings. Their images are often depicted in various forms, each representing different aspects of their enlightened qualities and vows.
Our monthly 16 Arhat Puja is a powerful method for:
Protecting and Upholding the Dharma: This practice invokes the blessings and protection of the 16 Arhats, helping to preserve and spread the teachings of the Buddha.
Gaining Spiritual Strength and Stability: By connecting with the Arhats’ unwavering commitment and enlightened qualities, practitioners can cultivate inner strength and resilience on their spiritual path.
Dispelling Obstacles and Negative Influences: Regular participation in the 16 Arhat Puja can help remove obstacles, dispel negative influences, and promote a harmonious and peaceful environment.
