Celebrating Buddha's Enlightenment Day
Origin of Dharma Day
The 8th day of December in the lunar calendar is commonly known as the “Laba Festival”. It is also to commemorate Sakyamuni's enlightenment and is called the "Dharma Day" in Buddhism. Laba congee commemorates the time when Buddha accepted a bowl of rice milk from a shepherdess, hence “Laba Congee” is also called “Enlightenment Congee”.
May we share with you a bowl of “Laba Congee” symbolising warmth, completeness, harmony, health and gratitude. May we share with you the joy of the Buddha’s enlightenment and be blessed by the Buddha, and grow in happiness and wisdom.

Humanistic Buddhism represents a return to the principals laid down by the Buddha. Humanistic Buddhism recognizes the Buddha lived in the human world and taught the Dharma in the human world, and that Buddhism should be for human beings.Humanistic Buddhism is Buddhism that is timeless, joyful, altruistic and life affirming.
Through the comprehensive examination of Buddhism through its history, concepts, development and the Buddha’s life, we purport several principles. Buddhism is the Buddha’s original teachings for the human world. It is Humanistic Buddhism. Thus, we propose Humanistic Buddhism: Holding True to the Original Intents of Buddha.
