Maha Sanghikadana is an important event well known among Buddhists of both the Theravada and Mahayana traditions. Once, Buddha asked his disciple, Venerable Maudgalyayana, to perform this meritorious deed on Ullambana Day in order to rescue his mother who was suffering in the hungry ghost realm. His mother was saved by his deed. Thus, many Buddhists follow Venerable Maudgalyayana's example by performing the Maha Sanghikadana to benefit their parents, both living and deceased.

In conjunction with the Annual General Meeting of Malaysian Buddhist Sangha Association (M.B.S.A.), the Working Committee usually organises a Maha Sanghikadana to make offerings to Sangha Members residing in Malaysia and other countries. The M.B.S.A. supports the education of the Sangha Members and provides medical assistance to deserving members. Proceeds from the Maha Sanghikadana is channeled to the Educational and Medical Fund of M.B.S.A.

All are welcome to participate in this auspicious occasion. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
