 *The Broward Lotus Sangha
and
The Vietnamese Buddhist Cultural Center
Are pleased to invite you to a
ROSE CEREMONY (ÐAI LE VU LAN)
In Celebration Buddha’s Mother’s Day (Ullambana)
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010
>From 5:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.*


Join us for a delightful evening to celebrate *ÐAI LE VU LAN–-A Buddhist
Celebration honoring Shakyamuni Buddha’s Mother and all mothers and fathers
throughout space and time (Ullambana)*. According to *Zen Master Thích Nhat
Hanh*, this Rose Ceremony is as important as the Ceremony for the Birth of
the Buddha, for it nourishes our understanding, love, and gratitude for our
parents and all beings.

We will start the celebration with a *traditional Vietnamese Dragon
Dance*for the whole family to enjoy. A
*Dharma Talk by Venerable Ti Kheo Thích Huong Hue* and a reading of *Zen
Master Thích Nhat Hanh’s A Rose for Your Pocket* will follow. During this
Plum Village-style Rose Ceremony, all participants will be invited pin to
their lapels two flowers in representation of each of their parents: a *red
rose* if parent is still alive or a *white rose* if he or she is no longer
alive. At the end of the ceremony, a *delicious Vietnamese vegetarian dinner
* will be provided in exchange for you generous donation. As always,
these *Celebration
will be conducted in English and Vietnamese*.

This event is free and open to the public. However, your generosity in
providing a donation or Dana for the monastic Sangha is gratefully accepted
and encouraged. Your kind donation helps support the activities of the
Sangha (e.g., maintaining the meditation hall, offering beverages and meals)
and is greatly appreciated.
