The full moon of the eight lunar month is when we celebrate Asalha Puja, also known as Dhamma Day, one of our important celebrations. We remember the Buddha’s first sermon, the ‘Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta’, the “Sermon in the Deer Park” at Sarnath, setting out the teaching which gives life nobility. The importance of the teaching was understood in its essentials by Venerable Kondanyo. The Wheel of the Dhamma was set in motion for the blessing of all. The teaching, The Four Noble Truths, is the basis for all the subsequent teachings of the Lord Budha.
Here the puja and meditation beginning at 19.30 will be followed by a talk. After the talk everyone is invited to join us to practice together until midnight.
