Spring has arrived. One of many beautiful things spring brings us is

the Sri Lankan New Year day. When the sun (earth) moves from the

Zodiac of Pisces to the Zodiac of Aries in its journey across the

twelve segments of the sky, we move into a new cycle of the sun.

This is a time to strengthen our relationships with one another and

develop positive thoughts to refresh our journey of life. We do this

by asking forgiveness from each other and sharing food and loving kindness.

Pittsburgh Buddhist Center invites all of you to join in this traditional celebration
