[Hungry Ghost Festival] Life After Death - Ling San Temple and Columbarium
The topic of death is always a difficult and sensitive one to talk about and often avoided by many. However, since ancient time, do you know the rich and sensible family always plan their after - life, not only for themselves but also for their generations after them? Speaking about superstitious , if it is important to consider the Feng Shui (Chinese Geomacy) in buying a house to stay in, it is even more important to choose our resting place after life.
This event is a unique opportunity to explore the cultural significance of the Hungry Ghost Festival at the Ling San Temple and Columbarium.
Ling San Temple is notable for its dual role as a functioning Buddhist temple and a columbarium, a Harmonious Blend of Worship and Remembrance. An innovative approach addresses the needs of a land-scarce Singapore while providing a comforting and spiritual environment for families.
Understand the struggles in building a temple in Singapore, and how the hope and vision of the late Venerable is achieved. Ling San Temple was first founded in the 1960s, making it as old as Singapore or even older, and definitely a must visit during this year as we celebrated SG60 .
Join us for a fascinating journey into understanding the traditions and beliefs surrounding life after death . The tour will cover the concept of deaths and the spiritual practices and rituals observed during this important festival.
As we explore the quiet and sacred place of the columbarium, get to understand the origin and purpose of ancestral tablets which are often crafted with colored glaze materials. Learn about the importance of honoring ancestors to the Chinese and maintaining a connection with heritage. Let's gain insights into the afterlife in Chinese culture.
Lastly, let's join us in discussion of difficult topics and questions to ask about death and how to plan for our after-life. Talking about them is not taboos, but to prevent regrets in life.
Don't miss this chance to deepen your understanding traditional customs and beliefs. See you there!
