BUDDHA’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Buddhism aims to help people
free themselves from suffering. Buddhism started with the Buddha which means
“one who is awake” -- in the sense of having “woken up to reality.” The Buddha
was born as a prince
Siddhartha Gautama in India
around 2,650 years ago. He did not claim to be
a god or a prophet. He became an enlightened one who
understands life most deeply. After enlightenment, he shared his realizations
so that
others could free themselves from suffering.
On this occasion of the
Buddha’s Birthday, we cordially invite you, your
family, and friends to come to Phap Nguyen Temple to
celebrate with us.
