Shosanshiki (First Visit Ceremony) Infant Presentation
In conjunction with this year’s Gotan-E (Shinran Shonin’s Birthday) on Sunday, May 20, 2018, the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin will be conducting an Infant Presentation Ceremony. All children (up to one year) are invited to visit the temple with his/her parent(s) and present themselves before Buddha and the Sangha. Hoping that this first formal meeting with the Dharma will be the start of a lifetime relationship that is mutually beneficial, we encourage all parents with newborns and infants to participate in this warm life-affirming ceremony. This may also be an opportunity for the parent to begin a relationship with the Dharma.
All those who participate will receive a certificate of presentation and Buddhist onenju. If you, or someone you know, are interested in taking part, please complete the form below and leave at/mail to the Betsuin Office or email to: sjbc@sjbetsuin.com
