Buddhist Church of San Francisco 2020 Virtual Obon

Описание: OBON derived from Ullambana (Sanskrit) or Urabon (Japanese), means "the agony of being hung upside down," a metaphor for suffering.

In Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, Obon, is also known as Gathering of Joy or Kangi-e. Obon gives us the opportunity to share our joy and appreciation for the causes and conditions that make our lives possible. We may not be able to come together face to face, but we can come together virtually.

We hope this video inspires you to dance, sing or cheer along. We also hope that it provides you with a chance to reflect on who made and makes your life possible, and our interdependence with each other. Hopefully feelings of gratitude and appreciation will result.

Please enjoy this virtual Obon video. It was made possible by many people, donating time, energy, and funds. We welcome you to help us continue our programs and maintain our temple by donating to the:
