How incredible is it that Shakyamuni Buddha's teaching is alive in New Jersey after 2,500 years! In celebration of Vesak at the end of the month, come to participate in a lantern-making offering this Saturday (5/16) at 1 PM🏮 Materials like bamboo sticks, tissue paper & glue will be available -- bring your family, children (of all ages), or even just yourself for an afternoon of creative celebration!

As we honor the Blessed One’s birth, enlightenment, and Parinibbāna, let us gather in generosity and joy to create lanterns that symbolize wisdom, light and compassion.

As the Buddha joyfully embraced, "Do not be afraid to make merit!" please come join us! May you all delight in the joys of appreciating the rare teachings 🙏
