Vesak Celebration
Vesak is a holiday celebrated mostly in the Theravāda tradition which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and passing on of Gotama Buddha, all of which are traditionally said to have occurred on the day of the full moon of the same lunar month. The formal date nowadays varies between traditions; we'll be celebrating Vesak this year on Tuesday, 2nd June 2026. We'll be meeting at the same time and place as we usually do on Tuesday evenings for our celebration and will spend the evening chanting, meditating, and reflecting together upon the Buddha's role in our lives. There will also be the opportunity to take refuge and to aspire to cultivate the ten pāramī (a.k.a. perfections or transcendent qualities) in our lives.
Afterwards, we’ll share some tea and snacks together. So we invite all of you to bring along either your favorite tea, snack or baked goods (or just what’s on hand) if you are so moved.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
