Ehipassiko Chanting Group
The Ehipassiko Chanting Group (ECG) provides
free Buddhist chanting services for funerals with the Wat Ananda
Youth (WAY) as its custodian and in association with the Buddhist
Fellowship.
Ehipassiko means “Come and See”,
an important teaching of the Buddha. The Buddha taught that we should
not just believe what we are told. Instead, we should ask questions
to clarify any doubts that we have and see for ourselves the relevance
of His teachings. ECG hopes to invite friends to see for ourselves
the Three Universal Characteristics as taught by the Buddha, namely
Suffering (Dukkha), Impermanence (Anicca) and Non-self (Anatta)
when we attend funeral/wakes.
The objectives of ECG are:
(a) to practice and propagate the Dhamma through the proper ways
of conducting a Buddhist funeral/wake service;
(b) to give spiritual support and guidance to the bereaved family;
and
(c) to acquire merits by performing meritorious deeds for the purpose
of sharing the merits with the deceased.

service to help support those family members who are going through
the difficult times.
