Jade Buddha welcomed to Lincoln-area temple
More than 50 Buddhist monks and nuns from across the United States participated in the midday ceremony, which included traditional music, dance, prayer, chanting, incense and offerings of flowers and fruits.
The Buddha statue, carved in Thailand out of Canadian jade, will be on display at the Linh Quang Buddhist Center for the next week, ending its visit with a closing ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Aug. 24. The statue has been traveling the world for the past five years.
The Jade Buddha represents peace — both for the world and in oneself, said Thich Tinh Man, a monk from Colorado. See at More: http://journalstar.com/news/local/jade-buddha-welcomed-to-lincoln-area-temple/article_ebeed51f-ab79-592f-a6db-8389b4823ae2.html
