2021 Mid-Autumn Celebration

There is only one moon in the sky, with millions and billions of people gazing and receiving the same warmth and radiance of the glorious moonlight. Gazing at the full moon with a tranquil mind, while sitting quietly on the ground for a few minutes, we feel the peacefulness of the night is very touching, and we are moved by her warmth and radiance with love and kindness.
On year 2021 September 21st, in IBC we all celebrate this auspicious day by dedicating merits at the three Buddhist Traditions chanting. Dhamma talks and entertainment activities like singing and storytelling were also shared. Lanterns were lighted, and we walked around the compound together as a group, which was enjoyable.
As mid-autumn approaches, mooncake gifts bring significant business to society each year. Family members gather and unite to have dinner and prayer together. Gazing at the moon in the sky and listening to ancient legends about Chang’e under the moonlight are always fascinating and enjoyable.
