Hanamatsuri Ceremony
The Celebration of the Birth of Buddha and the beginning of Spring
According to our tradition, the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni (muni translates as silence), was born in Nepal on April 8, 566 B.C. He was born the son of King Suddohana and Queen Maya. There are many flowery descriptions of the scene at his birth, including celestial birds singing beautiful songs, fragrant flowers, and a sweet gentle rain bathing the baby Buddha. It is not necessarily the beauty of the flowers, the sounds of the celestial birds, nor the sweet gentle rain that fell, but the vibrant fact that on this day was born an extraordinary being who became Enlightened. The Buddha lived a life of service in teachings for 49 years until he was 80 years old.
This Event is Open to the Public
Community Work Weekend (Samu)
The Community Weekend is an opportunity for Bodhi friends near Jemez Springs and members of the sangha to come together, socialize, and harmonize through work and recreation at Bodhi. This is not a monastic retreat, rather the weekend is a time to get to know one another and engage in meaningful work practice (“samu”). We will work together, share meals, soak in the hot springs, and have some fun!
To attend and more information about the cost of meals, please RSVP by emailing: office@bmzc.org.
We look forward to having you join us here at Bodhi for a wonderful weekend.

Kyudo
Kyudo is the Japanese martial art most often compared to Zen. It is a martial art using the bow, but unlike other kinds of archery, the real aim is far more than merely hitting a target. With total awareness of oneself, the spirit of Kyudo is expressed by the term mushin – pure mind free from all distracting thoughts.
