Bodhi Day

December 8th is a day many Buddhists celebrate as Bodhi Day, the day that Prince Siddhartha Gautama reached enlightenment while sitting under a Pippala tree. One of the visions he had before attaining enlightenment was a vision that everything that exists is one thing expressed in many forms. Join us to celebrate the Buddha’s life and explore the concept of the Oneness of life and environment.

Worship is led by Rev. Susan Frances, Dr. Emma Farrell, Gregory Shifrin, and Kiley Korey.

Throughout the month of December, our offering will be shared with Restore Justice Foundation, whose mission is to make Illinois a safer and more compassionate state by replacing the ineffective, extreme sentencing policies of the past with evidence-based laws that allow families and communities to heal.

Here are the worship service topics for the next 3 weeks:
