Significance and Rituals of the Water and Land Dharma Service
Significance and Rituals
of the Water and Land Dharma Service
The Water and Land Dharma Service is the most respected and meritorious service in Chinese Buddhism. Apart
from offering meals to satisfy the needs of all sentient beings, it involves the recitation of sutras and
mantras as an act of compassion, allowing sentient beings to open their minds and alleviate suffering.
The Water and Land Dharma Service is split into Inner and Outer Platforms. The Inner Platform is the main
event. However, in terms of merit, it is equally necessary to conduct Dharma services in both Inner and Outer
Platforms for merits to be complete and perfect.
Significance of the Water and Land Dharma Service
The Water and Land Dharma Service is the most elaborate and most meritorious Dharma service in Chinese Buddhism, and its name is often abbreviated to the Compassionate Offering Assembly, Water and Land Assembly, or Sanctuary of Water and Land. However, its full title is “Grand Banquet and Supreme Assembly of Sacred and Ordinary Beings in the Dharma Realms for the Universal Liberation of Sentient Beings from Water and Land,” and each part of this is significant.
MoreRituals of the Inner Platform
The Water and Land Liturgy, which compiles and honors the essence of the twelve divisions of the Buddhist canon, is considered the king of the Buddhist methods for repentance and liberating beings. It gathers the causes for liberation in order to aid and benefit both the living and deceased. The merits and virtues of liberation are truly inconceivable.
1. Securing the Boundaries and Purification
2. Sending Invitations and Raising the Banner
MoreRituals of the Outer Platforms
For seven days, the Outer Platforms conducts Dharma services, establishing six platforms to purify the karmic hindrances of sentient beings and enhance their merit, virtues, and wisdom. The six platforms are specifically designated as the Great Platform, Surangama Platform, Wondrous Lotus Platform, Various Sutras Platform, Pure Land Platform, and Avatamsaka Platform. In modern times, a Medicine Buddha Platform is sometimes added to pray for the well-being and blessings of the devotees and eradicate calamities.
