SAKADAWA DAY
Sakadawa Day
Friday, June 13, 5:10 – 5:30am
24 HOUR MAHAYANA PRECEPTS
Buddhists commemorate Buddha Shakyamuni’s birth, enlightenment and paranirvana on the full moon day of the Tibetan calendar’s fourth month, mindful that the beneficial effects of our positive activities generated that day are multiplied many-thousand fold.
We invite you to take the Mahayana Precepts for 24 hours.
Relying on the Mahayana Precepts, even for the short 24 hour period, has tremendous benefit. Among the precepts is the commitment to fast from 12noon until the following sunrise.
Please arrive by 5am. Precepts begin at 5:10am sharp in order to take them before sunrise at 5:24am.
Saturday, June 14, 10 – 11:30am
MEDITATING ON BUDDHA
Facilitated by Hartmut Sagolla
Join us to commemorate Sakadawa Day through guided meditation on Buddha Shakyamuni and chanting his mantra. Buddha Shakyamuni is an embodiment of enlightenment and meditating on him inspires us and brings our mind closer to that ideal.
