    About
    Buddhism
    By Michelle Riddle
    The Obon Festival
    Obon is the bridge of love that
    spans the past, present and
    future. The dance is to celebrate
    with current family and family that
    have passed on. The living and
    the dead are joined as one, in
    love.

    I attended the Sunday Service at


    the Buddhist Temple, which
    consisted of a beautiful 20 minute
    chant.
    Chanting is to praise Buddha and
    is also used for meditation.
