11 April – Saturday; Buddha’s Birthday! Vaiśākha or Hanamatsuri (花祭)

hanamatsuri1We’ll have a Dharma talk as usual at 10:15 a.m., and afterwards a ceremony celebrating the birth of the baby Buddha in which we circumambulate the zendo (meditation hall) while chanting the Heart of Great Perfect Wisdom Sutra.

Subsequently we’ll repair to the dining room for the birthday party itself. Everyone is welcome, please join us!
