Buddha's Birthday Celebration and Half-day retreat

  • Mountain Rain Zendo 2016 Wall Street Vancouver, BC, V5L 1J5 Canada (map)

For the second time since the Covid-19 pandemic began, we won’t be able to do our usual ceremony of washing the baby Buddha in our virtual Zoom Zendo, but please come and hear the story of the Buddha’s birth, performed as a virtual skit. We’ll do a modified ceremony. And maybe you can share tea and Buddha’s Birthday cake in some way at home.

Part of our our monthly half-day retreat. We’ll be using our regular Sunday Zoom link, available below.

This retreat is by donation. No registration required. All are welcome, come for as much as you can!
