This Uposatha, we celebrate Vesak Puja, which commemorates the Birth, Awakening, and Passing Away of The Buddha.

And the unique tradition of bathing a representation of the newborn Prince Siddhartha, who would go on to become The Buddha.

Just as bathing cleanses our physical body, bathing The Buddha symbolizes the purification of what covers the natural brilliance and luminosity of our heart and mind.

Join us in our sacred candlelit meditation hall tonight, Saturday May 2nd at 6:15PM.

This class is suitable for all levels of experience and is held both in person and online. All are welcome and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
