Wagesa Sewing Day

Wagesa Sewing Day

The first step commitment available at Shao Shan Temple is receiving the first five precepts.  With this step, a person receives a wagesa - a minature Buddha's robe.  This year, participants are sewing their own Wagesas, putting in a prayer ("Namu Kie Butsu") with each stitch. Five sangha members began this process today in preparation for the July 2nd ceremony.






Special thanks again 
to our sewing teachers: 
Donna, Judy and Kathleen!
