Buddha's Birthday
On Sunday the 8th of April, I went to a
ceremony at the Buddhist Temple in
Willen and joined the celebration of the
Buddha’s birthday.
There was a welcome and
introduction, invocation and then a
scattering of flower petals which were
offered to the Buddha.
In Japan the date for Buddha's
Birthday is April the 8th, but some
temples start the celebrations earlier.
The festival is different at each temple.
The Buddha means the awakened
being. He was born as Prince
Siddhartha more than two and half
thousand years ago in modern day
Nepal. When he was young, he was greatly saddened by
the sufferings he saw around him and embarked on a
journey to free people from pain, disease and old age.
Through arduous practice, Prince Siddhartha realised through his own experience of enlightenment that ultimate salvation is through freeing oneself from the slavery of his own mind. He became the Buddha –the awakened one and devoted the rest of his life teaching this realisation to his fellow human beings. The essence of the Buddha’s teaching is that true peace begins with making peace with oneself. Clear perception comes when one stops projecting, fantasizing and misinterpreting reality. In my view, this is particularly relevant with the current world situation. Wish more and more people hear the message and make some real efforts to bring lasting peace to the world.

Easter Party
These are some photographs of residents and staff having an Easter party at the Chrysalis Theater in Camphill Milton Keynes on Saturday 31st March.
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins, and rise on the third day.
