Parinirvana Day
On this day we commemorate the Buddha's passing away. Traditionally it is not only a time to remember the Buddha, but to bring to mind family and friends who have died. On this day we may experience loss, grief, joy, reconciliation and perhaps even realisation.
Dayapanna will lead us through meditation, talks, and puja. As a festival day, there will not be any formal teaching, so we ask those who attend to be familiar with the meditations we teach and be interested in Buddhist ritual.
