Bodhi Pooja  - October 10, 2007

A Bodhi Pooja was held on 10th October 2007 at the Austin Buddhist Vihara in appreciation of the tireless "Dhamma-dutha" services rendered by the Venarable Yatagama Sumanajothi Nayaka Thero. Venarable Udagama Sumangala Thero of the Houston Buddhist Vihara also participated in the religious activities of the evening which included Dhamma sermon and Pirith recitation. A golden gate was constructed by devotees to surround the Bodhi and it's opening commemorated by the lighting of candles along the gate.
