Blossoms Mayfest – A Heartwarming Celebration!
Bodhi Meditation Toronto’s Blossoms Mayfest was a joyful and inspiring celebration of Buddha’s Birthday, Mother’s Day and community togetherness!
Held on Sunday, May 4 at our center, the event featured the beautiful Bathing the Buddha ritual — a meaningful practice in which our guests warmly took part in to purify body and mind, and receive blessings.
Guests also enjoyed writing their personal wishes on prayer cards and hanging them on a cherry blossom tree, receiving free Traditional Chinese Medicine advice, watching exciting live performances, exploring the vendor market, and participating in fun parent-child activities and lucky draws.
The venue was filled with laughter, warmth and uplifting energy throughout the day!
