The yearly 7th month prayers was held on 16th August, 2008 at similar location and the organiser is non other than Andy the man who came forward yearly to ensure that the ceremony is carried out without fail. Despite the reduction in number of participants, the overall collections were very encouraging. On behalf of Andy, I would like to extend my appreciation to the yearly sponsors and also the hardcore helpers who contributed to the success of the praying event. On this blog, I had posted 2 videos and also photographs on the event carried out in sequence.

一年一度的庆中元仪式在农历七月十六日在同样地点举行，主办者别无他人就是确保仪式每年都顺利进行的ANDY. 今年人数虽然少了，但总筹到的款项还是相当可观。 在此我谨代表ANDY向那些常年赞助者及劳苦功高的帮手们说声谢谢。如果没有他们的支持，整个庆中元仪式不可能进行的那么顺利。 在此博克放置了两个录影片段及根据仪式进行持续的照片共大家观赏。
