Buddha’s Birthday May 3rd

Zenwest’s annual Buddha’s Birthday is happening on Sunday May 3rd. Friends, family and the community at large are encouraged to attend this event. This year proves to be a very fun, sociable occasion! We are planning to have music, snacks, piñata and storytelling by our abbot. (Did you know that Eshu Osho is a trained actor?)

Do mark this on your calendar!
