Dinh Quang Temple celebrates three main festivals each year. Click on a holiday to learn more!
•Tet, the Lunar New Year (the first day of the the first month of the lunar calendar);
• Vesak, commemorating the birth, life, teachings, and parinirvana of the Buddha (the first full moon of the lunar month Vesakha, or the first full moon of May in the Western calendar); and
•Vu Lan (Ullambana), commemorating parents and ancestors (the 15th day of the seventh Buddhist lunar month).
The actual date of celebrations at Dinh Quang Temple varies according to our community’s needs. Visiting the temple during these festivals is an especially good way to experience traditional Vietnamese Buddhism, deepen our practices, and build our temple community.
