More than 2600 years ago, on the eighth day of the fourth month, the great Buddha Sakyamuni was born in Kapilvastu. Afterthe prince was born, pure water showered from the skies, bathing his royal body. Later, Buddhists celebrated the Buddha's birth every year on that day by holding Buddha-bathing ceremonies. By means of this merit, the period of the five evil corruptions are transformed into a pure-land; praying that all people in the world be healthy and joyous, society be peaceful and auspicious, and the world be in harmony.
Fo Guang Shan St Louis Buddhist Center will celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday on Sunday, May 24th, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM. We will pray for the health and spiritual well-being of all walks of life and world peace during the Bathing the Buddha Ceremony. Please join us to celebrate the birth of the World’s Unexcelled Honored One – Sakyamuni Buddha.
