ROHATSU CEREMONY and CELEBRATION
Monday, December 8, 5:30 pm

On December 8, Bodhi Day (Rohatsu in Japanese), Buddhists commemorate Shakyamuni's Enlightenment. In our tradition, we celebrate this event, which marks also our own awakening, with lively chanting and circumambulation of the altar, while flower petals rain from the sky. 

Please bring a dish to share for the following potluck!
