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!
