“Ikebana: How Can Buddhists Embrace the Spirit of Christmas?” will be held on December 8th. Please register now. [For more details]
Buddhists celebrate Christmas as a cultural rather than a religious event, but we can find meaning in its universal values of love, kindness, and generosity. Furthermore, the emphasis on family gatherings, giving, and community spirit during Christmas resonates with Buddhist values of interconnectedness and selflessness. Rather than viewing Christmas as a Christian observance, many Buddhists see it as an occasion for family reunions, charitable giving, and reflection on gratitude. Embracing this season’s spirit, we engage in acts of compassion and togetherness, reflecting our Buddhist values during Christmas time.
