Pictures from Vesak at the Rosemead Buddhist Monastery

by Danny Fisher

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the Vesak celebration at the Rosemead Buddhist Monastery, which is the temple at which I was ordained. I finally got my film developed, and below are some images from that day. (For those interested in such things, I took them with my Leica Z2X on Kodak 800 film.)

My friend and teacher Bhante Chao Chu, abbot of the monastery and president of the Los Angeles Buddhist Union, with a local photographer.
