Buddha's Birthday Ceremony and Potluck Lunch
April 27th 2008
This was the first at the new centre for the largest gathering of the year. Thanks to Myorei, Risako and Minhee for arranging the flowers, and many others for setting up the ceremony space, weeding the garden, and thoroughly cleaning the building. Unfortunately the weather closed in causing lunch to be inside rather than in the garden.
About forty people attended. Besides the sangha there were several guests checking out the Opening Day that occured concurrently. After the traditional ceremony everyone enjoyed a lively and delicious potluck lunch.
