LANTERNS ON THE LAKE
From Hiroshima to Hope

Monday August 6, 2007 6:30 - 10 pm

North Seattle Green Lake NW shore, just south of the Bathhouse Theatre

Culminating in the 9 pm Toro Nagashi Lantern Floating Ceremony with music
by World Meditation Ensemble (for the fifth straight year).
Commemorating all victims of war and violence and the 62nd remembrance
of the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This is a sedate ceremony where those who have prepared a lantern are led to the water's edge to have it gently placed in the water at twilight with perhaps a thousand others, to serene, sacred world music performed by World Meditation Ensemble. Symbolizing souls, the lanterns are a metaphor for the transmigration of the spirit after death, leaving this shore and reaching the farther shore on the waterway of life. It's a very profound sensory and spiritual experience and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Public is invited and there is no charge or donation requested. We encourage you to RSVP to us directly so we can do our best to secure space for you at this event that is typically attended by over 1200.

The adjacent parking lot fills early. Street parking is available.
