View All🌺Maha Prajnaparamita (大般若忏) on December 25: This ceremony was established by the esteemed monk Renshan Jizhen of the Qing Dynasty, who was inspired by the profound essence of the 600-volume "Prajnaparamita Sutra." This repentance is intended to help scholars repent their sins and accumulate merits to enter into the concept of emptiness.

The festival involves thousands of participants collectively lighting hundreds of thousands of butter lamps, creating an auspicious mandala setup for great offerings, and cultivating both blessings and wisdom simultaneously.
