Ullambana CeremonyJoin us for Ullambana Ceremony: Remembering Our Ancestors, Caring for All Beings, a Buddhist gathering devoted to honoring our ancestors and remembering those who came before us. Rooted in the Buddhist Ullambana tradition, this ceremony offers a sacred space to express gratitude for the lives, sacrifices, wisdom, and love we have received from our parents, grandparents, family members, teachers, and spiritual ancestors. Through chanting, light and flower offerings, quiet meditation, and the dedication of merit, we will remember departed loved ones, reflect on the lineages that have shaped our lives, and renew our responsibility to carry their goodness forward. We will also extend our prayers and compassion to forgotten ancestors, those who died alone or without family, and all beings who are suffering. People of all religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds are warmly welcome to participate or observe in silence.
