"Auspiciousness for the Buddha's Birthday!", and "Happy Birthday!" resounded through the Su Bong Zen Monastery on 15th May, bringing everyone abundant joy and blessings. All sentient beings are endowed with the Buddha nature. As we celebrate Buddha's Birthday, we are also reminding ourselves of the importance of the practice of awareness.
As we bathed Prince Siddhartha with the ladle of purified water while chanting his name, we purified also our body, mouth and mind. With inside and outside in unison, we each attained our complete, true nature of compassion and wisdom.
