🌸 Embrace a moment of spiritual reflection and family bonding at the upcoming Sunday Family Service – Gotan-e & Parent’s Day. This serene gathering will be held on Sun, May 19, from 10 am to 11 am at the tranquil Midwest Buddhist Temple, located at 435 W Menomonee St, Chicago, IL.

The service is a dual celebration; it honors the birth of Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, alongside Parent's Day, providing a unique opportunity to appreciate both our familial bonds and spiritual heritage. The Midwest Buddhist Temple is a welcoming community that practices Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, which is part of the Mahayana School of Buddhism. This tradition emphasizes compassion and seeks to cultivate a sense of concern not only for one's own life but also for the well-being of others.

Whether you're looking to attend in person within the temple's Hondo (chapel) or prefer to join virtually, the service is accessible to all. The temple also offers the convenience of accessing the service later as either a video or podcast. If you're planning to attend in person, be sure to understand the In-Person Attendance Policy. For those interested in virtual attendance, further information can be obtained by contacting the temple office.

Take this opportunity to engage with a community that cherishes the interconnectedness of life and celebrates the profound teachings of Buddhism.
