Commemorating Sotaesan’s Enlightenment and the 111th Anniversary of Won Buddhism
Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM (ET)
Hybrid: In-Person & Online
We invite you to join us in commemorating the 111th Anniversary of Won Buddhism and the Great Enlightenment of Master Sotaesan.
In a world driven by speed and materialism, we honor Sotaesan’s vision of living a simple, intentional, and committed life—a path of wisdom, compassion, and service. To honor this milestone, Won Buddhists worldwide will unite in meaningful practices and community service, embodying the wisdom, compassion, and dedication to humanity that Sotaesan envisioned.
Let us renew our dedication to these principles and continue walking the path toward peace, justice, and spiritual awakening.
On the twenty-eighth of April, The Founding Master, Sotaesan upon the attainment of his great Enlightenment, said,
All beings are of one Reality and all things and principles originate from one source, where the Truth of No Birth and No Death and the Principle of Cause and Effect operate as a perfect organ on an interrelated basis.
