Parinirvana Day –  A Festival of Remembering and Rejoicing

Sunday 16 February

Led by Bodhivajra and Vajraguptā

On this day we’ll be

• hearing about the Buddha’s death and Parinirvana
• remembering our own loved ones who have died
• reflecting on our own mortality
• rejoicing in the freedom found in Dharma practice

If you know someone who has died in the last year, you are welcome to bring a photo of them to place on the shrine during the opening ritual. The morning session will be led by Bodhivajra, and in the afternoon Vajraguptā will lead a specially compiled Parinirvana Puja.

All are welcome to come to this special event.  By donation but please book.
