BUDDHA'S BIRTHDAY Celebration

  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

Buddha’s Birthday is traditionally celebrated in the Spring with a festive altar and a Baby Buddha statue in a flower bower. While the community chants, each member comes forward, bows, and offers fragrant water that is showered over the Buddha Baby.

We invite children to join us on this Sunday; the short talk will be the story of Buddha Shakyamuni’s birth, and for the ceremony we will go outside and also enjoy tea, juice and cookies.
