Dharma Day Festival: Communicating Enlightenment
On Dharma Day we celebrate the teaching of the Buddha by marking his first communication of the way to Enlightenment in the deer park of Sarnath over 2500 years ago.
Marking key events in the Buddhist calendar - Festival days a great opportunity for everyone to come together to celebrate, reflect, practice & connect.
The morning will focus on meditation and reflection. In the afternoon we’ll hear more about the moment the Buddha first communicated his enlightenment experience to a human being, setting in motion a chain of teaching that reaches all the way to us. The day concludes with celebratory puja with mitra ceremonies.
