Shakyamuni Day 2021

Celebrate & Reconnect

On Wednesday, May 25, we will celebrate the life, enlightenment and parinirvana of the Buddha, also called Saka Dawa Duchen.

Nalandabodhi Seattle will host an online liturgical practice as well as two small gatherings to celebrate our good fortune in being able to study, practice and meditate on the profound teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Our online morning practice will be followed by two small gatherings at Nalanda West in which will celebrate this auspicious day as well as our dear sangha family. The gatherings will be  hosted outside and will be limited in size. Two canopies will be set-up with tables and chairs.  Health precautions will be taken – chairs six feet apart and masks at all times. We will provide individually packaged sandwiches & deserts as well as bottled beverages. The conversation is up to you!
