On Sunday, September 13th, we commemorated Shao Shan Temple's 26th Anniversary - 26 years since the Opening Ceremony in the year 2000.

Prior to the Ceremony itself, there was the option of a time of meditation.
An important aspect of Anniversary Ceremonies now is honoring Shao Shan Temple's founding abbot - Taihaku Nishiren Diaosho - who created, envisioned and manifested this beautiful place of practice. There was the option of offering incense for her during the Heart Sutra chanting
The Shao Shan Anniversary has for many years included tying ribbons with our intentions onto the gold pole in front of the Temple while chanting "Namu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo" and that tradition was continued this year.
The celebration was followed with abundant refreshments and fiddle music!
