Celebrations of the year’s seasonal milestones is an important part of the Buddhist liturgy.
The Vernal Equinox marks the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere, and from now on the days will be getting longer again. Animals and plants respond to the increase in sunlight and get ready for life and procreation.
Buddhists are aware of our deep connection with all other creatures, and we joyfully take part in a ceremony of gratitude for the generous offerings that we are receiving all year around.
Please be prepared to share a poem or song in the special service on this auspicious day, as we reflect on the teachings of impermanence and interdependence.
