💝 Suriya Family Day 714 🌻👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

📆 14-July-2019
🕘 9:30 am – 1:00 pm
🏕 Piṇḍapāta Hall (Register)

🌻 In one of the Boddhisatta’s life, he was a sixteen year old boy, living in the forest with his parents. Once, his parents were blinded by the snake’s venom when they were under a tree taking shelter from the rain. When he found his parents, his parents shouted, “don’t come close, son, there’s a venomous snake here!” When the Boddhisatta heard this, he cried and smiled at the same time. He cried because his parents lost their vision while they were still young and he smiled because he knew that it was time for him to practice filial piety. What have you comprehended from the Boddhisatta’s response and mindset when he had to face his parents who were unable to take care of themselves and needed to rely on him?

💕 Filial piety is not only to fulfill our parents’ sensual pleasure, materials need or physical needs, but rather to spend time to accompany them and to guide them to learn the Dhamma, meditate and walk towards the path of liberation.

It’s Suriya Family Day again and the opportunity is here for everyone in the family, young and old, to learn the Dhamma together. We welcome you and your family to participate in this wholesome event. Please bring along a stalk of flowers for the elderly to offer to the Buddha during Buddha Pūjā.

💐 On 14th July, please bring your family to register at Piṇḍapāta Hall by 9:30 am. Activities dedicated for the Old Folks’ Corner include Meditation Guide, Buddha Pūjā, Dhamma Talk entitled “Facing Death Calmly”(Mandarin), simple exercise guide and interactions with Kids. At the same time, the Venerable will be invited to share Dhamma entitled “Old Beings and Growing Old” (Mandarin) at the Adults’ Corner. The volunteer team also prepares Dhamma activities specially for the Kids’ Corner. After all the activities, we encourage family members to participate in the Lunch Dāna session, and enjoy lunch together.
