ART ON THE AVENUE - MAKING LOTUS LANTERNS
OCTOBER 2007
Mount
Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, Alexandria, VA
Last year, over 1,000 Washington area residents joined us in Del Ray to make more than 550 lotus lanterns. Join us this year in celebrating the symbol of Buddha's Enlightenment, which is the mind flower that blooms in the suffering world. Mindfully create peaceful lotus flowers to share your love with suffering people throughout the world. This is the eighth time we will lead this annual event. To guide the artists, Sangha members will man a booth on Mt. Vernon Avenue, which will be blocked off to vehicle traffic.
