Celebrate the Birth, Enlightenment and Parinirvana of the Buddha
Saga Dawa (Vesak according to lunar Calendar) 9 May to 6 June, marks the month of Buddha Shakyamuni's birth, enlightenment and his Mahaparinirvana. Saga Dawa begins on the 1st day of the 4th lunar calendar month, this year falling on Thursday 9 May till 6 June. The name Saga Dawa is the name of a particular star which only appears within the fourth month of the lunar calendar. During this month the Buddha performed Six Noble Activities: the Buddha was conceived; was born; took ordination; completely defeated his mara's; attained full enlightenment, and lastly; passed into Mahaparinirvana. It is said that within this month, whatever positive and negative thoughts and actions one carries out, they are multiplied 100,000 times.
To celebrate Saga Dawa or Vesak we will hold a 16 Arhat Puja on the full moon, Thursday 23 May at 6pm. If you would like to attend bring a tea light or offering for the shrine and some vegetarian food to share afterwards, we will provide some home made chai and nibbles as well. All welcome.
No bookings required, bring a sarong or towel to cover cushions and don't attend with any cold or flu like symptoms.
