Festival of the Lord of the Third Season

Today Fung Loy Kok participants from around the world chanted to celebrate and be inspired by Goon Yam (Guanyin), the bodhisattva of compassion.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month (October 23), participants of Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism chant the Scripture of Filial Piety to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Chanting expresses our intention to pay our respects to our elders and to our ancestors, and our wish for everlasting harmony.  

A wonderful National Retreat in Vancouver!  Deep work, big smiles, transformation, gratitude.

Chant encouraging souls of the departed to let go of attachments and be delivered from suffering

Caring is at the heart of Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism. It is deeply felt at All Souls Festival

There is a Chinese saying “When the dead are at peace, then the living shall prosper.” All Souls Festival gives the living an opportunity to express filial piety, harmony and dedication.

Goon Yam, Deity of Compassion, cares for all.

All Souls Festival gives souls a chance to listen to the wisdom of the sutras chanted during the days of the festival and become free by resolving any attachments, entanglements, or conflicts they had during their lifetimes.

Chanting during All Souls Festival brings peace to troubled souls who have died tragically.

We all have a relationship with our ancestors. All Souls Festival provides a way to care for and maintain harmony with them.

As we prepare for All Souls Festival we compose ourselves We approach the tasks with respectful intention

All Souls Festival gives the living an opportunity to express filial piety, harmony and dedication by honouring ancestors, relatives and friends who have passed away. 

At this time of year the temples bustle with activity. Volunteers at the Fung Loy Kok International Centre prepare for the All Souls Festival.

As a powerful deity, Wong Ling Goon used the teachings to transform himself so that his strength would protect the path of Taoism.
