Celebration Days and Full Moon Pūjās

Celebration Days and Full Moon Pūjās

One Saturday each month.

A pūjā is a traditional Buddhist ritual that includes chanting, offerings, readings, poetry, meditation, and the opportunity to bow our heads and fold our hands before our highest of ideals. Each month we gather to share this practice either on or near the full moon. 

All are welcome whether or not you have taken part in pūjā before. Pūjā is better with a good number, so come along and lend your voice!
