Celebrating Many Traditions. One Root Teacher.

Since 2009, the Buddhist community in Pittsburgh has come together to share VESAK, the annual celebration of the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of the Buddha Shakyamuni. It is an occasion where each ​Buddhist center shares their practice and we have an opportunity to experience the richness and variety of all the Buddhist traditions.  

A beautiful video from 2012 shares the richness and meaning of Vesak in Pittsburgh.  Photos below also show some later celebrations.
