Pchum Ben
One of my favourite times to visit the pagoda.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

Re: Pchum Ben
Anumodana (encouragement, and approve, and invitation for all beings to join the merits, meaning rejoice with them, when touched by it)
Adāsi me akāsi me
Ñāti-mittā sakhā ca me
Petānaṃ dakkhiṇaṃ dajjā
Pubbe katam-anussaraṃ
Na hi ruṇṇaṃ vā soko vā
Yā vaññā paridevanā
Na taṃ petānam-atthāya
Evaṃ tiṭṭhanti ñātayo
*Ayañca kho dakkhiṇā dinnā
Saṅghamhi supatiṭṭhitā
Dīgha-rattaṃ hitāyassa
Ṭhānaso upakappati
So ñāti-dhammo ca ayaṃ nidassito
Petāna-pūjā ca katā uḷārā
Balañca bhikkhūnam-anuppadinnaṃ
Tumhehi puññaṃ pasutaṃ anappakanti.
"He gave to me, he acted on my behalf,
and he was my relative, companion, friend."
Offerings should be given for the dead
when one reflects (thus) on what was done in the past.
For no weeping or sorrowing or any kind of lamentation
benefit the dead whose relatives keep acting in that way.
But when this offering is given, well-placed in the Sangha,
It works for their long-term benefit
And they profit immediately.
In this way the proper duty to relatives has been shown
And great honor has been done to the dead
And the monks have been given strength:
You've acquired merit that's not small.
