New Year message (LABV)

The Sunday Dhamma School leadership and congregation of the Los Angeles Buddhist Vihara have decided to cancel the Sinhala/Hindu New Year Festival this year.

It was scheduled for Sunday, April 28, 2019 at the Pasadena temple due to the brutal terrorist attack that occurred on Easter in Sri Lanka.

Instead of the festival the devotees and monks are planning to have a memorial service before the Dharma Program, which had been scheduled earlier for the same day.

 

Sri Lanka is a teardrop off the tip of India.

In addition, donations that the temple will be receiving for the New Year festival will be sent directly to Sri Lanka to help the victims of this senseless terrorist tragedy. This is a public invitation that the temple is open to all. May all blessings be with you.
