WEST COVINA, CA (Cultural News: Forwarded for West Covina Buddhist Temple) – This year, the West Covina Buddhist Temple will be hosting our Comeback Obon Festival on Saturday, June 24th, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in an abbreviated format.

The day for honoring our past loved ones will commence with a Manto-e service at 6:30 p.m. in the East San Gabriel Valley Japanese Community Center parking lot.

Bon Odori, with Kishin Daiko on the drums, will follow the Manto-e service at 7:00 p.m.

Our food booth will be offering a scaled down menu. This year the temple will be offering a Chicken Teriyaki Plate and a new a la carte menu, which will include our Chicken Chow Mein.

To place an order for food, go to: https://forms.gle/rQMiJA6pvCumUt5y5 or scan the QR code in the flyer.
Please order your food by Saturday, June 17th, 2023. Walk-up orders are also welcomed and will be available the day of Obon until sold out.

This year we have decided not to ask members to sell the usual Obon raffle tickets.  Instead, we ask you to generously donate to the temple.  Your generous donations allow us to continue to operate as an independent temple, as well as allow the Sangha to interact and stay connected.
