Buddha Day
Typical Program
Sounding of the opening gong (ZCA), moments of silent meditation
Offering of Incense (each local group present)
The Sevenfold Puja with instruments (DDIS)
Heart Sutra Recitation (Great Tree)
Bathing the Baby Buddha
Verses of Auspiciousness
Notes
Typically we have dry ice placed in the bowl with the Baby Buddha, to give a nice effect.
Typically Great Tree brings a beautiful flower arch that goes around the Baby Buddha statue.
For this program, we need offerings for the shrine (fruits and so forth) as well as saffron water for the bathing, and many flower petals for tossing during the verses of auspiciousness at the end.
