OFFER OF LIGHTS IN SARNATH

3,000 lights will be lit and offered in Sarnath, India --where the Buddha turned the wheel of Dhamma -- nightly for ten nights starting from Nov 17.

This offer of lights close to where the Dhamekh Stupa is located is in conjunction with the Aloka Novitiate 2009 -- the third in a series of Novitiate programmes conducted by Ven Mahinda in Buddha's holy site.

We rejoice with the many who have joined in in this offer of lights even though they will not be physical present in Sarnath. Rejoice in the merits and make your aspirations on the night or nights (Nov 17-26) that you have chosen to make the offer of lights.

May this meritorious act of yours kindle the light of wisdom and dispel the darkness of ignorance. May your aspirations be realised. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
