participated in my first ullambana this year. the first one was at the school. and the second one was at the temple i where i attended my friday talks. and i am not sure why, but i almost broke into tears when i made my offerings to the sangha. then again, this is something i still cannot explain. i always feel my eyes welling up with tears whenever i participate in any buddhist rituals, be it chanting, making of offerings, 3-steps-1-bow, or whatever. and i so totally understand how one woman felt during one of chanting session after a dharma talk when she burst into uncontrollable sobs and cried non-stop as we did the procession around the temple.
