Sky Creek Dharma Center invites you to an outdoor, in-person, Covid-19-sensitive celebration of the Buddha’s birthday (also known as Wesak) at the center. This will give us an opportunity to be together physically, something we haven’t been able to do in such a long time.Previous Wesak celebrations (pre-pandemic) have centered around the baby Buddha bower, a beautiful, flower-strewn tabletop mini-cabin that gave everyone an opportunity to ladle water over the baby Buddha, who is sitting in meditative repose in his bower. Children were especially thrilled to bathe the baby Buddha.
In addition, there were readings of salient texts, walking meditation, singing and chanting. We plan to revive many of these elements. We’ve scheduled the Wesak ceremony for Saturday, May 15, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Lunch will take place between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m. (Please bring a bag lunch.)
Those who are not fully vaccinated should wear masks.
Finally, it would help if everyone planning to attend lets me know ahead of time (say, by May 9).
In gratitude and joyful anticipation,
Bob Speer
