Creative Compassion Day Cake enjoyed at Lama Yeshe Ling’s potluck dinner celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 77th birthday, Canada, July 6, 2012.
On July 6 our Compassion Day celebration included a potluck dinner where members were engaged in many ways to honor the 77th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the spirit of the day.
The community was invited to bring a new friend, compile a list of books on compassion, participate in a book exchange and offer gifts for His Holiness.
Three dozen people ranging from youth to seniors enjoyed a vast array of delicious food and the friendship found in our community.
Dekyi-Lee, Deborah K., Beverly and Alana designed, baked and iced the birthday cake which was enjoyed by all! Dave Gould led our dedication to His Holiness with OM MANI PADME HUM and long life prayers. Our youngest guest, the around-seven-years-old Maeve, read aloud her heartfelt message for His Holiness to all in attendance who discovered this child truly is wise beyond her years!
