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.
