INVITING THE DEPARTED SPIRITS

From a heart of love that spans all lands,
We lay these gifts with humble hands.
We call to spirits, near and far,
Come partake of what we offer here.

Turn your hearts to Buddha’s way,
Take refuge, learn, and gently stay.
May peace and calm your days be filled,
With Dharma bright, your hearts be stilled.

Today, on the … day of the … month, … year, at the Janna Order Monasteryin USA, we sincerely makes this offering to the departed souls.

We earnestly pray that the Buddhas of the ten directions, in theirboundless compassion, bestow blessings and guidance, to deliver all spiritsresiding in this hall, all nearby wandering souls and unseen beings, that theymay come here to hear the Dharma and receive this food. May all spirits let goof sorrow and distress, take refuge in the Triple Gem, turn away from evildeeds, perform acts of goodness, and soon be liberated into realms of peace andjoy.

Homage to the Bodhisattva Who Guides Beings to Bliss and Liberation (3 times).
