ANNUAL BUDDHA'S DAY BABY BLESSING CEREMONY

2pm, Saturday 14th May
The Wisdom Hall, BMW Edge

A newborn is a gift of hope and a promise to ourselves and to the world at large; a continuation of the power of life expressed in the new little face you hold before you.

Babies enter the world surrounded by the hopes, dreams, joys and most importantly love of their parents, family and friends. Every parent has hopes and aspirations that their child grows in good health physically and mentally; that they live a meaningful and fulfilling life; that they develop a kind and loving heart and that they become wise and are blessed with good fortune.

Fo Guang Shan Melbourne is pleased to announce the annual 2011 Buddha's Day Baby Blessing Ceremony, where children under the age of six will be blessed by the Venerables of Fo Guang Shan Melbourne, so that they may live a happy and fulfilled life under the protection and guidance of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas.
