Buddha's Birthday - Dharma Service
On April 8, 2539 years ago, Queen Maya of Kapilavastu, India, gave birth to Prince Siddhartha under the asoka tree in Lumbini Park. He was to become the Buddha. After his birth, with one hand pointing to the heavens and the other to the earth, the prince exclaimed, “I am the supreme of all heaven and earth.” The meaning of which is, “In all of the universe, only realizing our own Buddha nature is the most noble and supreme.” Subsequently, the Four Heavenly Kings and nine dragons rained down fragrant water to bathe the young prince.
Hence, Buddhists conduct “Bathing the Baby’s Buddha Ceremony” and prepare a tonic with fragrant herbs and spices to bathe the Buddha for celebration of the Buddha’s birthday.
The Buddha's Birthday falls on 5/15 this year. IBPS Dallas will conduct a "Bathing the Baby's Buddha Ceremony" Celebration on the following dates:
5/11-15 (Sat - Wed) 9:00am ~ 5:00pm "Bathing the Baby’s Buddha Ceremony"
5/12 (Sun) 10:30am ~ 12:30pm Buddha's Birthday Dharma Service at 3rd floor of the temple
We cordially invited you to join us in this celebration!
