Invitation for Ullambana

Dear brothers & sisters,
The Buddhist Ullambana Day Ceremony is
a Celebration in Remembrance of
our parents' great efforts, on our behalf, throughout our
lives. The tree draws its strength growing from the
earth, drawing water and nutrition from the ground as its
sustenance. Nobody came to this world without their parents
who devoted their lives towards our growth to maturity.
Their love and labor can not be expressed adequately through
common language and simple gifts.
