ABUNDANT LIFE CENTER will present a Wesak celebration at 12:30 p.m. at Quality Inn Conference Center, 7001 N.E. Highway 99. Wesak is the most important of the Buddhist festivals and is celebrated on the full moon in May, according to the BBC. It celebrates Buddha’s birthday, and, for some, also marks his enlightenment and death, the BBC says. There will be a celebration of chanting, prayer, silent meditation and sound immersion. * http://www.my-ALC.com, 360-695-0211.
