Celebration
Everyone is invited to celebrate Buddha's birthday on Monday, April 8. This holiday is celebrated in many Asian countries to commemorate the birth of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha.A baby Buddha will be set up on a table in the Campus Center 2–9 pm. Everybody is welcome to bathe the baby Buddha in order to realize our common Buddha nature. There will also be handwritten compassionate notes for you (created by my studio arts class, The Art of Life).
In honor of Buddha's Birthday, Kline is offering a special dinner for the entire Bard community with various Asian foods including a Korean bimbimbap bar! Thank you Alan Wolfzahn and Jacob Smith from Parkhurst.
And if you feel inclined, during our regular meditation group time 6–7 pm (Center for Spiritual Life, basement of Resnick Village Dorm A) we will have some special activities and celebrations. Come and be happily surprised. :-)
Let's celebrate life together, accentuated by the magic solar eclipse.
