Join us as we gather in person to celebrate the Buddha's life.
About this Event

Event: Vesak is the traditional Buddhist celebration of the birth, awakening, and death of the Buddha. Let's gather in person to mark the occasion! We'll share the story of the Buddha's life, sit, chant, enjoy light refreshments and have time to meet and connect with meditation friends face to face.

Registration: This event is free and open to all. Register through Eventbrite if you want to get a reminder email, and it's also fine to just show up!

COVID: Masks will be optional for this gathering. Please stay home if you have any cold-like symptoms. No vaccination requirements.

Parking: If you park on the street, please be attentive to any parking restrictions in the neighbourhood.

Dharma Book Swap: Do you have dharma books that are gathering dust? Bring them along! Leave what you're done with, and take home new treasures. New BCIMS sangha members and volunteers are especially welcome.

Contact: If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Lewis at [email protected].
