On Sunday, February 9 we will be having our New Year’s Party and also observing Nehan-e (Parinirvana) Service.
This is a special service dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha upon his passing.This is one of the three important services dedicated to the foundation ofBuddhism, along with Bodhi Day (12/6) and Buddha Day (4/8).
The General Membership Meeting will follow the Nehan-e Service. If you have any questions or suggestions for the temple, this would be a great time to express your thoughts and concerns at the meeting.
At the New Year’s Party, there will be lots of delicious food, exciting games and entertainment for everyone to enjoy. We always have great prizes for Lucky Numbers like Gift Cards, Cooking ware, Toys, etc. so test out your luck for 2020 by coming to the party. We will also have the Silent Auction like last year. Your donation for Lucky Number prize and item for Silent Auction will be greatly appreciated.
