Buddha’s Birthday Celebration
On Saturday, April 5, 10:15‒11:15 a.m., BZC will join Buddhist centers around the world in celebrating the birth of the baby Buddha (traditionally considered to have been in early
April).

Following a short service and an introductory talk in the zendo, we will proceed to the courtyard for a kid-friendly ceremony.
After the doshi makes an initial offering of flowers and bathes the baby Buddha with sweet tea, we will chant the Heart Sutra and all
adults and children will have a chance to use a ladle to bathe the baby Buddha. Children will also be offered small containers of bubble solution. We welcome children and others to
come for work period at 7:35 a.m. to help
decorate the baby Buddha’s bower stands.
