We will celebrate the Vesak Day (Buddha Day) on Sunday, May 12, 2019 at our temple. It is a very important day for all Buddhists around the world because it is the day when the Buddha-to-be was born, the day when the Buddha attained the Buddhahood and the day when the Buddha passed away from the Circle of Rebirth (reached Nibbana).
Daw San Thawda Kyaing and family will graciously and generously donate lunch to all attendees of the celebration.
