BON Dance and Lantern Lighting




Once every summer we attend the Bon Dance and Lantern Launching. It is held at the Buddist JODO Mission, and you pre order paper lanterns with the names of the deceased members of your family written on them. At Dark, after watching people dance and chant in a foreign language around a tall built tower...we all launch our paper lanterns into the ocean- lit and glowing...It is sweet, to sit on the sand on the beach and watch them glow...
