About the event
Dear Devotees,
We would like to invite you to the Buddha-Day Ceremony on Sunday May 12th, 2025 at the Tathāgata
Meditation Center. Every year, Tathāgata Meditation Center (TMC) following the Buddhist tradition
organizes the ceremony to commemorate the Buddha.
As you know, the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment and passed away on the full moon day of
May. The ceremony will provide an opportunity for us to reflect on the rare appearance of the Buddha
in the world, his enlightenment and his teachings.
Coming to the ceremony, devotees will have an opportunity to take five precepts, be blessed with
chanting from the Sangha, listen to Dhamma talk, share merits to all beings and lastly water the
Buddha statue under the Bodhi Tree.
The ceremony program is as follows:
10:30 A.M.: Arrival of devotees
11:00 A.M.: Lunch
12:30 P.M.: Buddha-Day Ceremony
2:30 P.M.: Adjournment
We hope that many of devotees will be able to participate in the Buddha-Day Ceremony. We look
forward to welcoming you. May you all be well, happy and peaceful!
In Metta,
Tathagata Meditation Center
