SAGA DAWA PRACTICE DAY
Wednesday 11th June 8am - 8pm
On the auspicious day of Saga Dawa (anniversary of Buddha’s enlightenment and parinirvana), we will hold a practice day at the Centre. The practice day will end with Praises of the 12 Deeds of the Buddha and light offerings. Some sessions are also online.
On this day the potency of all the actions is multiplied 100 million times, thus practice of virtue and actions to accumulate merit (positive potential) is encouraged. Do join us on this auspicious day!
