Deepavali, Saturday Nov 14, 2020

With COVID-19 guidelines still in place, the Shrine will not be open for Deepavali this year. We do have two activities that we hope everyone will (virtually) come together for.

PRAYERS & TIME WITH MASTER

Similar to our Vesak celebration, we welcome everyone to join us on Zoom for prayers and chanting.

Prayers start at 10am. You can join us at this Zoom link:

A SHARED MEAL

This year, let’s come together to enjoy a meal cooked with love in the MHBS kitchen.

New Sandalwood Incense

We know many of you are missing the Shrine’s Miracle incense. Because of COVID-19 transportation restrictions, we are temporarily unable to get new stock.

You may not know that our incense goes through a process where it is blessed before it is distributed to members. To tide us over, we have sourced Sandalwood sticks from a supplier here in Singapore.

We tested many types, and this was the one selected by Master. We believe they have enough stock here to supply us until border controls are lifted. The review from the Shrine of this incense is “a very pleasant smell, fragrant but not overwhelming”.

6 boxes of 20 (total of 120) sticks costs $10.

If you would like to arrange to pick it up from the Shrine, we are using the same form as the water.
The URL is https://forms.gle/igoArx4ihRQDMzwv8

If you have other arrangements for delivery of water, you can have incense delivered at the same time.

新香通知

由于COVID-19的运输限制,本佛堂现有的香有限,也因此没办法得到稳定的供应。为了解决这问题,我们从新加坡本体的一家供应商,慎选了类似的香以应付短期内的需求。我们测试了许多不同的香味,这也是师父万中选一。我们认为,在取消边境管制之前,他们有足够的库存来向我们供应。

6盒20支(总计120支)价格为$10。

如果您有意购买这被师诵过经的香,我们将使用以圣水相同的形式来预定及安排领取。

网址为https://forms.gle/igoArx4ihRQDMzwv8

如果您已经有预定圣水,香也将一起发送。

Reminder Regarding Water

It has been a couple of months since we updated you regarding our COVID-19 precautions. The Shrine continues to remain closed to all visitors.

  1. All healing remains suspended until further notice.
  2. However, we will provide water on a need basis.
  3. We will make private arrangements with each person for either delivery or pick-up, where feasible.

This may change if there are any government safety measures which control movement and we will update you further if we can no longer provide this service.

We will be using the same form as previously to arrange these Shrine services. If you submit this form, one of our volunteers will get in touch to make arrangements with you. It may take a couple of days, so please be patient.

Together, we play our part and stay united to overcome this. Stay safe, stay well, and we hope to see you soon!

Vesak 2020 Celebration

To protect the health of our members and the public from the risks of the Corona Virus, we have made the difficult decision to NOT hold a public event this year.

Our Vesak celebration this year will be held for one day only, on Thursday, May 7, at our Shrine.

As a precaution, we are asking everyone to nominate approximate timing (2-hour slots) for their visit, so that we can spread visitors throughout the day and avoid excessive crowding. We will also be conducting temperature checks and sanitising the space regularly.

Blessing will be conducted throughout the day.

Andy is taking registration for fruit order and timing at the Shrine during our remaining openings leading up to Vesak.
