Broward Lotus Sangha

Join us for a delightful evening to celebrate Vesak –the day of Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and paranirvana. We will start the celebration with a Dharma Talk by Venerable Thich Dong Nhut, followed by a chanting session at 6:00 P.M. At about 7:00 P.M. we will start the Bathing The Baby Buddha Ceremony in Plum Village style, followed by joyful singing and a Vietnamese vegetarian dinner at 8:00 P.M. The “bathing” refers to a ceremonial bathing of a statue of the baby Buddha in perfumed water, to remind people to keep a clean mind, free from all obstacles and to awaken and cultivate their True Nature. The Celebration will be conducted in English and Vietnamese.

This event is free and open to the public. However, your generosity in providing a donation or Dana for the monastic sangha is gratefully accepted and encouraged. Your kind donation helps support the activities of the Sangha (e.g., defray the costs associated with maintaining the meditation hall, offering activities, beverages and meals) and is greatly appreciated.
