Ceremonies

Celebrate the Buddha's Birth Day Festival and connect with your spiritual side at one of our Buddhist ceremonies.

The Purification Ceremony marks the commencement of the Buddha Birth Day Festival. The ceremony involves the chanting of the Great Compassion Mantra, associated with Guan Yin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva of compassion, as well as the purification and cleansing of the event site with blessed water.

Th Official Festival Ceremony celebrates the cultural harmony amongst all members and friends of our diverse multicultural community.
The ceremony will include a grand offering procession, which is a symbolic offering made to the Buddha. The act of offering items provides the offeror with the opportunity to practice contemplative and sincere gratitude.

The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly around the globe, and since then, the world has never been the same. However, where there is darkness and devastation, there is also the opportunity for growth, unity and light.

The Multi-faith Prayer and Light Offering Ceremony for the COVID-19 Pandemic will see religious leaders within the Queensland community, come together to offer their prayers for all who have been affected. May the offering of light extinguish darkness and represent the wisdom that we have within ourselves to offer our light to benefit the world.
