Buddha’s Birthday Celebration, Sunday May 3rd, 5pm

Please join us for our annual Buddha’s Birthday celebration on Sunday May 3rd. Vesak, the annual celebration of the birth and enlightenment of the Buddha, is celebrated on a full moon in the fifth or sixth lunar month. The actual Vesak day this year is Monday June 1st. The full moon in May is Sunday May 3rd so we are celebrating then. Doors open at 5:00pm. We will have a vegetarian potluck beginning at 5:30pm. Following the meal there will be a short presentation on the life of the Buddha. Finally there will be a Precepts Ceremony. Anyone who wishes to take the precepts, please contact a Dhamma Leader or Board Member or notify us via email or call (812) 434-6643. Please bring a vegetarian dish or dessert. Also it is customary to bring flowers to honor the Buddha at this ceremony.
