MORE than 10,000 friends and family members came together for prayers and worship to relieve the souls of their restless ancestors at Nirvana’s Enlightenment Ceremony this year.

Held in conjunction with the Hungry Ghost Festival month at Nirvana Memorial Garden, the annual three-day mass dharma assembly was aimed at enriching the audience with dharmic wisdom while they seek blessings for the departed on their way to the “Pure Land”.
