Attend Tomorrow's Buddha Birthday Celebration

(The May 24 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Here is an invitation from Rev. Thich Hang Dat, head of the Ten Thousand Buddha's Summit Monastery near Corydon, Indiana

10,000 Buddhas Summit Monastery

3600 Mathis Rd.,

Corydon, IN 47112

We would like to invite you and your family to join our Buddha’s Birthday celebration from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday, May 25 of 2014.

Currently, in the United States the two oriental practices that have gone to the mainstream are yoga and meditation. In fact, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, FORTUNE 500 titans, Pentagon chiefs, politicians, etc., are utilizing meditation to enhance their professional fields successfully. For instance, Tim Ryan, a democratic Congressman from Ohio, has become a rock star among mindfulness evangelist to promote mindfulness as a tool to combat stress, anxiety, depress, etc.

However, many people are unaware that mindfulness practice generally has its roots in Buddhism; namely, this tradition of mind’s training was initiated by the Buddha, i.e. Enlightened One that many people, especially in the West, may not know who the Buddha is, where he was born, etc.

To know more about this historical Buddha, we would like to invite you and your family to join our Buddha’s birthday celebration on Sunday, May 25 of 2014, starting from 2:00 PM at our temple Corydon, IN. We will have lion’s dance, refreshment, and youth’s performances afterward.

We look forward to seeing you and your family soon.

Sincerely,

Rev. Thich Hang Dat
