Parinirvana Day
February 14, 2021 @ 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
The Parinirvana Day festival marks the end of the Buddha’s earthly life and gives opportunities to reflect on impermanence, beauty and Enlightenment.
It will include meditation and talks/discussion, and we will bring to mind people who have died in the past year or so. The day will conclude with Srivandana leading a Puja to the Medicine Buddha, with a focus on healing.
