Parinirvana Day

Parinirvana Day

Sunday 16 February 2025 10:30am – 4:30pm

 On Parinirvana Day we honour the moment of the Buddha’s physical death, which is an opportunity to approach the basic Buddhist teachings of impermanence and the preciousness of life through reflection on the human cycles of life and death.

Come along for talks, meditation, ritual and discussion.  We will also celebrate and remember those who have died in the past year with ritual and readings so please do bring pictures of anyone whose death you’d like to mark in this way.
