Online celebration and meditation using Zoom 

This year’s program has been adjusted to reflect the Covid-19 situation.

With Vesak we commemorate the birth, enlightenment and passing away of Gotama Buddha. This is an excellent opportunity for meditators to pay their respects to the person who discovered the path and passed it on to us.

During Vesak we also refresh our good intentions by taking refuge again in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha through reciting the five precepts (Pancasilani). The practice of ‘sila’ is valuable in itself, but it also supports the practice of Vipassana meditation.

Meditating via Zoom

• We will celebrate Vesak via Zoom where we will meditate and have an opportunity to chat with each other afterwards.
