- May We Gather honors lives cut short due to violence
Today, on the 100th day memorial of the Atlanta-area shootings, join us in honoring lives cut short due to anti-Asian violence and racial/religious animus. Please watch and share this short highlights video from May We Gather: A National Buddhist Memorial Ceremony for Asian American Ancestors. Released one hundred days after the tragedy in Atlanta and marking an important memorial period in many Buddhist traditions, this video can be a resource for classrooms, sanghas, and other communities. After watching the video, you may wish to make a ritual offering of light, incense, or flowers; to recite a chant; or to simply observe a moment of respectful silence.
