Enlightenment Ceremony Prayer (Por Tor)

An annual prayer ceremony for the souls of the departed during the seventh lunar month.

The seventh lunar month is also known as the “Hungry Ghost month” when the veils between the worlds of the living and the dead are at their thinnest, and spirits roam around.

The Group organises a Por Tor festival where Buddhist monks are invited to pray for the souls of the departed, followed by a short procession where offerings specific to the individual(s) are then hoisted on a paper boat to be ‘delivered’ to the departed.
