Buddha Day
Sunday, May 26th @ 10:30 am – 4:00 pm
The Buddha Festival Day celebrates the day that Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment in India 2500 years ago and became the Buddha whose teaching we follow.
This year we explore the life of the Buddha through four important events and places in his life in northern India. His birth at Lumbini. His enlightenment at Bodhgaya. His first teaching at Sarnath and his Parinivana at Kusanagara.
Short talks will each be followed by a period of meditation finishing with a puja (Buddhist ritual).
Please bring some vegan food to share at lunchtime.
