Bathing Buddha Ceremony @ Jade Buddha Temple

What do you do after the finals are over? How about come to Jade Buddha Temple and be part of the Bathing Buddha Ceremony this coming Sunday (May 11th)?

Every year, Buddhist communities around the world cerebrate Buddha’s birthday by holding a Bathing Buddha Ceremony. Showering the Buddha with clean water symbolizes the purification of our own greed, anger, and ignorance that are often manifested through body, speech and mind. When our own mind is purified, we will inevitably influence the people and environment around us. Eventually, we will have a purified, peaceful world – the true meaning of the Bathing Buddha Ceremony.

Please bring your family and friends to this highly celebrated annual event at Jade Buddha Temple. Each one will have the chance to shower the Buddha. There will be some chanting and a speech by the Abbot. Entire program will be translated into English live. Get your headsets on your way in to the grand hall. Free vegetarian lunch will be offered.

Date: May 11 (Sunday)

Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon (expect a large crowd; street parking only)

Location: Jade Buddha Temple 6969 Westbranch Drive, Houston , TX 77072, 281-498-1616
