About Thich Nat Hanh: Thich Nhat Hanh is a Zen spiritual leader, poet and peace activist. His is known around the world for his powerful teachings and bestselling writings on mindfulness and peace, but his key teaching is that of mindfulness, and by doing so, we can learn to live happily in the present moment — truly developing peace, both in one’s self and in the world. He was born in central Vietnam in 1926 and at the age of sixteen, entered the Tu Hieu Temple, located at Hue city. When war came to Vietnam, the monks and nuns were confronted with two decisions, continue the contemplative life meditating in the monasteries or to help those around them suffering turmoil of war. Thich Nhat Hanh was one of those who chose to do both. Over the course of his life, he has authored/published over 100 books raging from topics on meditation, mindfulness and Engaged Buddhism, as well as poems, children’s stories, and commentaries on ancient Buddhist texts.

Join us for celebrating Vesak-Buddha Day

Please join us on Thursday May 11 to celebrate Vesak. Vesak is an annual event celebrated throughout all Buddhist communities on or near the first full moon of May commemorating and celebrating the life of the Buddha. The event will start at 6pm with a vegetarian pot luck (if you do bring a dish please bring a description of ingredients since people have a variety of dietary commitments and allergies) followed by an account of the buddha’s life, a precept ceremony and a short meditation period. Traditionally during Vesak individuals are offered the opportunity to publicly take the five precepts in a small ceremony. This opportunity is open to everyone who would like to take the precepts, whether for the first time or renewing them. Traditionally at Vesak people bring fresh flowers to put on or near the statue of the Buddha, so please feel free to bring a small offering of fresh flowers if you would like.

We look forward to sharing this celebration with you!
