Birthday Buddha

Today I celebrated my 33rd birthday! I had been searching for a meditation center and came across a fund raising event for a zen meditation center up in Northgate. The event was for members to donate their time to make Buddha out of clay. These Buddhas will be auctioned off to fund the meditation center. I thought there was really no better way to spend my birthday than making gods of peace for the world. So I invited a couple of my closest friends and my mother to the clay making festivities. I have some pix as show and tell:

Sunday, December 9, The Buddah Project: Silent Auction, Seattle, 6:30 pm

Take home your own personal Buddha while helping to raise money for Blue Heron Zen Community. Clay Buddhas made by our sangha members and frieds will be on display at Blue Heron Zen Center from December 7th to 9th. Over the weekend we will hold a silent auction. You can bid on as many Buddhas as you like. Bidding will stop at 6:30 pm sharp, so if you want to take home your favorite Buddha or one you made youself, you’ll have to be the highest bidder.
