Shuso Hossenshiki and Buddha’s Birthday Ceremonies

April 8 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT

Hybrid Hybrid Event

Shuso Dharma Inquiry, Practice Period Closing & Buddha's Birthday Celebration

Please join us at the Community Congregational Church in Tiburon or on Zoom for these special ceremonies.

 

The Everyday Zen Bay Area Practice Period 2023 concludes with the Shuso Hossenshiki or Dharma Inquiry ceremony, the culmination of the Shuso’s duties as head monk. This will be followed by a celebration of the Buddha’s birthday.

In the Dharma Inquiry ceremony, Myogen Neal Shorstein will express their understanding of the Dharma in a lively question and answer period and reaffirm their commitment to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

Norman will then formally close the circle of Practice Period.

The afternoon’s ceremonies conclude with a celebration of Buddha’s birthday by bathing a figure of baby Buddha with sweet tea under a beautiful canopy of flowers. To end the gathering, we’ll have a reception with a light dessert.
