Every year on September 22, we celebrate Buddha’s return from the Desire God realm, the Land of the Thirty-three Heavens, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there.

This day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day, it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example, if we offer one single light offering, this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings.

You are also welcome to bring vegetarian food offerings or flowers to join in the celebration and increase your merit through this virtuous act.

We look forward to seeing you there!
