Buddha's Birthday & Refuge Ceremony

5/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Celebrate the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, the awakened teacher for our time. In celebrating the birth of the Buddha, we not only celebrate the man, Siddhartha Gotauma, but also the birth of the Buddha within each of us. Those who wish to dedicate themselves to the Buddhist path of practice are welcomed to participate in the Refuge Ceremony, in which one vows to uphold the Three Jewels of Buddhism: the Buddha (the Teacher), the Dharma (the Teachings), and the Sangha (the Community). ​
Picture
  • Please bring flowers (both live and cut) and fruit to place on the altar.  
  • ​If the weather permits, the ceremony will be held outdoors.
  • Following the ceremony there will be a barbecue and time for fellowship.
  • Please bring a vegetarian or vegan dish to share
  • All are welcome, regardless of faith tradition or lack thereof.
  • Please RSVP so we can make proper accomodations

    RSVP for Buddha's Birthday

    Please bring vegetarian or vegan dishes only! We will be providing beverages, portobello burgers with gluten free buns and a dessert.
