Wesak Ceremony

Wesak  (pronounced Vay-sock) is celebrated all over the world, in all forms of Buddhism, and commemorates the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha. All are welcome to join the ceremony and it will be held both online and in person.

The beauty of this ceremony is greatly enhanced by the participation of children and the presence of bountiful flowers!

Everyone in the Dirt Zendo will have a chance to process past the altar and pour sweet tea over the baby Buddha’s head, and we’ll have a camera on the Wesak altar for the Cloud Zendo participants.
