Listen to intro first as I could not figure out how to merge them together! I am still learning! Walk with me as as I attend Ullambana which is the annual honoring of ancestors by various Buddhist ethnic communities at different times of the year, and is known by different names including Ullambana, Yu-lan-p’en, Obon, Vu-lan, the Obon Festival, Vietnamese Mothers’ Day and Ancestors’ Memorial Day. In each case, the day is spent by monks and laity alike dedicating offerings to the Three Treasures (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) on behalf of their parents and ancestors.
