Question & Answer Evening - May 19th

On Tuesday evening, May 19th, Shao Shan Temple hosted a Question and Answer Evening per the request of Sangha members who wanted an opportunity to ask questions in an informal group setting.  

On a warm windy evening, this turned into a delightful story time - with Taihaku sharing tales of Shao Shan Temple's beginnings and her history.  Thanks to all who participated and helped make this occasion what it was.  We look forward to another Q&A evening next year!

Buddha's Birthday! - May 9th

A wonderful spring Buddha's Birthday was celebrated at Shao Shan Temple this past Saturday.  This year's celebration was especially festive and well-attended.  Over 60 people enjoyed a procession through the woods with bells & drums & parasols & bubbles; a delightfully told story of Buddha's birth; poems;  sweet tea offerings; and meditation.  The celebration was concluded with refreshments and accompanied by live music.  
Thanks to all who participated and to all who assisted in making it possible!
