Dharma Day is the annual celebration of the Buddha’s teaching. The day is a remembrance of the Buddha’s decision to teach, and a rejoicing in the many forms that the teaching has taken. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-size:12pt;white-space:pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;"><span style="color:#222222;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="text-decoration:none;">This year our Dharma Day team has put together a wonderful program exploring the crucial incident in the Buddha’s Enlightenment story in which the Buddha reflected on how difficult it would be to communicate his vision to others. The emergence of his compassion is represented in a visitation and a request from the divine realm, followed by a vision of humanity as a pool of lotuses in differing stages of blossom. This vision of humanity moved the new Buddha to make the effort to teach others. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
