Dear Friends,
This year we will celebrate the Buddha’s Continuation Day on May 24th, 2026.
On this day, we will bathe the baby Buddha statue, to honor when he was born in the historical dimension but also to remind ourselves of our own inner baby Buddha!
Though we may be part-time Buddhas, as our Teacher, Thay, would often mention in his Dharma talks, we can always embody this Buddha nature by cultivating our Understanding and our Love for ourselves and all beings.
Did you know that Vesak is a day where we actually celebrate three major events in the Buddha’s life? His Birthday, his attaining Enlightenment after meditating 49 days under the Bodhi tree, and also his passing away into Nirvana.
Come join us this Sunday and participate in Thay’s teaching: The future Buddha may take place in the form of a sangha, a community. Save the date and bring your family and friends!
The event program on May 24th, 2026:
8:30 am Walking Meditation
9:45 am Dharma Talk
11:30 Bathing the Baby Buddha Ceremony
12:45 pm Picnic Lunch
We look forwarding to celebrating with you!
With Joy,
Magnolia Grove Monastery Monastics
