August 14, 2026 (Friday). At 7:30 p.m., Yanshan Leizang Temple respectfully invited Venerable Lianming Shi from Canada to preside over the Dharma assembly, leading the fellow practitioners in a devout practice of the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Deity Dharma, as a perfect prelude to the Dharma assembly the following day.

2026年8月14日（星期五）晚上7:30，嚴山雷藏寺恭請來自加拿大的釋蓮鳴上師主壇，帶領同門虔誠修持觀世音菩薩本尊法，為翌日的護摩法會作完美的前行鋪墊。

In the latter part of the ritual, fellow practitioners held willow branches dipped in honey and chanted the Great Compassion Mantra twenty-one times in unison. Relying on the compassionate vows of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to bless the willow branches, they were offered as special offerings for the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's Pacifying Disasters, Praying for Blessings, and Homa Ceremony on August 15th. May this pure practice and offering receive the Bodhisattva's compassionate blessing, and may all beings be freed from calamities, increase their blessings and longevity, and may the deceased be reborn in a better realm to attain good results.

儀軌後半段，同門手持沾滿蜜汁的柳木枝，齊誦大悲咒二十一遍。藉由觀世音菩薩的大悲願力加持柳木枝，作為8月15日【觀世音菩薩息災祈福護摩法會】的特製供品。願此清淨修持與供養，蒙菩薩慈悲加被，令眾生消災增福延壽，令往生者轉生善道，得圓滿果報。
