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:
Sotaesan’s Great Awakening
The Beginning of Won Buddhism
The Reverends’ birthdays as our spiritual birth
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:
- Singing and Chanting
- Prayers and Meditation
Join us in person or online (YouTube Live)
In the afternoon (12-4 PM), we will celebrate with our open house.
