Vesak Celebration

Loading Events

We will honor Vesak, which is a Buddhist holiday in our Mahayana tradition.  Our Ceremony will commemorate the Life Story of the Buddha – including his birth, enlightenment, teaching and death over 2,500 years ago.  As part of the ceremony, we will bring the story to life with a “bathing of the baby buddha” with flowers and water.   

The Mount Adams Buddhist Temple will be open to Sangha members and their guests for a Special Event honoring the Life of the Buddha. The Retreat will be conducted by resident abbot Venerable Kozen.    Please bring your own meals and beverages. 

ALL DAY:  This Event will be conducted at an outdoor tent located on the Temple Grounds, with the use of COVID protocols of masks indoors & distancing for unrelated individuals.

 AT NOON: A special pavilion of Tibetan Flags will be raised up on the future site of the new Temple at Mt. Adams Buddhist Temple.  Please join us!

Mt. Adams Temple has  limited in-person attendance also available.  Please contact Venerable Kozen for details on visiting the Temple for this special occasion.
