* The Broward Lotus Sangha and Tu Vien Huong Hai
Are pleased to invite you to a
Buddha’s Birthday Ceremony (Vesak Celebration)
Sunday, May 30th, 2010
>From 6:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M.
Davie, FL*


Join us for a delightful evening to celebrate Vesak—the day of Buddha's
birth, enlightenment, and paranirvana—with a Plum Village style Bathing The
Baby Buddha Ceremony and traditional Vietnamese Lion Dance. The celebration
will also include a Dharma Talk by Venerable Brother Thich Chan Huong Hue,
followed by a chanting session, joyful singing, and a Vietnamese vegetarian
dinner. The “bathing” refers to a ceremonial bathing of a statue of the baby
Buddha in perfumed water, to remind people to keep a clean mind, free from
all obstacles and to awaken and cultivate their True Nature. The Celebration
will be conducted in English and Vietnamese.

*This event is open to the public and offered on a donation basis in the
Buddhist spirit of generosity and inclusiveness*. Thus, *your generosity in
providing a donation or Dana for the Temple and the monastic Sangha is
gratefully accepted and encouraged*. Your kind donation helps support the
activities of the Four-fold Sangha (e.g., defray the costs associated with
maintaining the meditation hall, offering activities, beverages and meals)
and is greatly appreciated.
