166 - The Ceremony of Wesak: Celebrating and Expressing Gratitude for Our Teachers

from The Zen Studies Podcast · host Domyo Burk

The annual Buddhist festival of Wesak celebrates the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha. The ceremony takes inspiration from the Buddha's mythological birth story, and I describe a version of the ceremony and share some chanting from it. Then I discuss the way Wesak helps awaken our gratitude for the Dharma, for teachers, and for all of those beings who have made our lives possible.
