Obon Odori Festival of Lights

Learn Japanese dancing and join the Obon Festival. Everyone is welcome to join us for the Festival of Lights (Obon Odori) � one of the most widely celebrated and colorful of the Buddhist observances, dating back some 15 hundred years.

The Obon is essentially a memorial observance, in which homage and respect are paid to those who have passed away. In doing so, thought is directed towards their deeds, virtues, endeavors, and life; all of which effected the heritage that is now ours. With thoughts thus aligned, attention is focused upon the Oneness of the past, present, and future; to the interdependency and harmony of all existence to the working of the Karma, of causes and effects which manifest all that is life. Reflecting upon these, other profound teachings and truths of life are explored, stimulating and activating a fuller awareness and understanding of life.
