Join us tomorrow morning for the traditional ceremony of Buddha Shakyamuni's Birth. It will be more modest than usual, given the circumstances. You will be hearing the poetic story by Ashvagosha, we will chant the Heart Sutra, and the bathing of the newborn will be accompanied by a special chant:
As we bathe the Baby Buddha, who needs no purifying, our own delusion is washed away. We prostrate in gratitude for the life of the Buddha. We prostrate in gratitude for the teachings.
