ANNUAL EVENTS

Every ceremony that the Awakened Ones allow the Awake Sangha to organize is born out their Great Vow so all people could come and directly connect to the Awakened Ones, have their Awake potential awakened, experiencing the Awake Mind within and realizing why they need to Wake Up and liberate the cycle of birth and death in this lifetime.

LUNAR NEW YEAR (TET):

Celebrating the Lunar New Year to welcome the Forever Spring, which is symbolic of the budding Awake potential in each person, with renewed and refreshed Awake purpose to Wake Up and liberate the system of delusion. The event is marked by a festive Lunar New Year market with rows of booths filled with foods, games, and gifts for the new year, as well as a stage with continuous performances of songs, dances, and presentations to lift spirits toward the Awake purpose and Awake destination.

Also known as Ullambana festival, Vu Lan is a celebration of filial piety to show our respect and gratitude to the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and Awakened Ones, with the chance to connect our parents and loved ones, whether living or deceased, to the light of the Awakened Ones. After having our wisdom mind opened by the Awakened Ones, we chant the special Vu Lan sutra to commemorate the great Mahamaudgalyayana, who expressed his deepest gratitude to his mother by waking her up and liberating her karmic debt. All attendees offer dedication candles in the name of their loved ones, and participate in a beautiful, solemn ceremony.
