SUMMER 2009-ACTIVITIES
I. Cultivations and Charitable Activities
Offerings and food donations at Mahabodhi Temple. On May 8, 9, and 10, during the 2009 Vesak celebration (the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Sakyamuni Buddha, all in one), we make offerings to the Buddha and food donations to the visitors, as an usual part of our Buddhist cultivations. More than six thousand Buddhist visitors have been served with meals. Every thing has gone well!
II. Student activities
The student trip to Mahabodhi Temple & the Joint Student Award Event. On May 24, 2009, our group charter the buses to take students from the remote villages to the famous Mahabodhi Temple for a trip. Afterward, the students walk together to the newly built Vietnamese Buddhist Temple nearby for the Joint Student Award Event. Our Nun has managed to finish the roof and also the painting of the construction, just in time to host the student award event. And this time,with the convenience of our own building, the students are able to stay on for the whole day. Hopefully, the new classes at this Vietnamese Buddhist Temple will soon be opened to the students. We also find the cooks to prepare local food for all students to enjoy after the award, before taking them home.
And may it be auspicious!
Here are four parts of the activities in pictures:
