Consistent with the Chinese traditions, Venerable Master Husan Hua had formally established an annual celebration to honor the Elders. Avatamsaka Vihara, a Dharma Realm Buddhist Associations (DRBA) branch at Potomac Maryland, will take the opportunity to organize a Festival in this honor on Sunday, October 23, 2011. We cordially invite all elders of the greater Washington area to attend and share with us a day full of fun activities and entertainment.

The festival of honoring the elders promptly begins at 8:30AM with Bowing The Lotus Flower Repentance wishing all the elders not only longevities and fortune but also blessing and wisdom. The entertainment program unfolds together with a specially crafted scrumptious vegetarian lunch for guests to enjoy. The afternoon program includes Introduction to Buddhism. We hope to mark your weekend a pleasant and eventful one.

Avatamsaka Vihara hereby would like to request for your presence and look forward to spending the day with you and your parents.

The event is free of charge, we would like to receive your RSVP via telephone or email to ensure an adequate count and smooth operation of the event.
