SRP Philadelphia announcement for Kan Ben ceremony

Hello everyone,

Bonn Pchum Ben is coming! Bonn Pchum Ben is the festival held for commemoration of the spirits of the dead. The festival does not just begin and end on one day. In fact, it lasts 15 days, each of which is called a day of Kan Ben. A Ben is an offering. During the first 14 days, people take turns offering food to the monks of their local pagoda in the hope that their offering will reach the souls of their ancestors by virtue of the monks’ sermons.

This year I would like to inform that we took turn of Kan Ben. Please see attachment for complete detail information of the events. Everyone is invited and hope to see you at the temple.
