About The Event
Desserts, festivities, and fun to celebrate the Buddha's birthday! It's that time of the year again! We invite Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike to this celebration. Since ancient times, Buddhists worldwide have celebrated Buddha’s birthday annually by using fragrant water to bathe the statue of the infant Buddha. Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen (President of the Nitartha Institute, Ex-Faculty at Naropa University) and Zen Master Rebecca Nie (ORSL’s Buddhist Chaplain-Affiliate) will co-facilitate this year’s ceremony.
Please join us and your friends at Stanford’s Buddhist communities for a celebration of community, joy, and renewal.
Time & Location:
Sunday, April 12, 10:30 a.m. to noon p.m. at the Sanctuary Room on Stanford Old Union’s third floor (CIRCLE), accessible through the elevator.
