BUDDACARE

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual United Nations Day of Vesak celebration for 2020 was held online. Everyone with a smart phone, television or computer having access to Facebook or YouTube was able to join. It was a celebration that involved Buddhist chanting and prayer, meditation and music. The chantings were performed in the three main Buddhist disciplines represented in Australia: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana, as well as Common Buddhist Chanting which comes from a condensed mixture of these three traditions. A guided meditation was conducted by the inimitable Venerable Pannyavaro, Australian founding master of Buddhanet. Below is the  video shown during the event.
