269 days to go. You can read day 1 now, or let your phone's calendar remind you when the season begins.
Read day 1 now →Across these 49 days there is no need to finish a whole scroll each day. Read the full scroll when time allows; when life is full, a single chapter — or part of one — still keeps the practice and the connection to the sūtra alive. 🙏
Missing a day is fine — simply read on.
This forty-nine-day path (seven weeks) accompanied readers through the Ullambana season of 2026. In 2027 it keeps the same readings — the Ullambana Sūtra, the Kṣitigarbha Sūtra one chapter a day, the Sūtra of Repaying Kindness, the Sūtra on the Filial Child and Nikāya discourses on our parents — starting on the first day of the seventh lunar month, passing through the full moon and closing after seven weeks.
