Great Awakening Day Special Dharma Service

  • Won Buddhism Meditation Temple 8021 Old NC 86 Chapel Hill, NC USA (map)

In Won Buddhism, we call April the month of Great Awakening. 

On April 28, 1916, our Founding Teacher, Sotaesan, attained his Great Enlightenment, and Won Buddhism was born. April is the biggest month of celebration for Won Temple communities throughout the world.

On the Great Awakening day, we celebrate:

  1. Sotaesan’s Great Awakening

  2. The Beginning of Won Buddhism

  3. The Reverends’ birthdays as our spiritual birth

  4. And… the great potential in each of us for our own great awakening

In the morning (10 AM), we will have a special service to celebrate the birthday of Won Buddhism with:
