Shakyamuni Day is a family-friendly holiday. Our observance at Nalanda West will begin with an adult program and practice as well as activities for children. This will be followed by a Shakyamuni Day address by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and the “Bathing the Baby Buddha” ceremony, offered both onsite and online for the entire international sangha, young and old alike. The remainder of the day will be left to individuals, families, and centers to celebrate as they wish. Upon registration a resource page will be shared offering some suggestions. A complete schedule of events can be found on the registration page.
