At 10 a.m. on May 8, hundreds of people from the Tzu Chi Phoenix City Liaison Office participated in the Buddha Bathing Ceremony to celebrate "Tzu Chi Buddha's Birthday, Mother's Day, and Global Tzu Chi Day." "Offer lamps, candles, incense soup, and offer flowers and incense," the emcee's voice guided the ceremony. Two senior sisters from Tzu Chi demonstrated the basic procedures for bathing the Buddha to the great masters. Put your palms together, bow at 90 degrees, dip your hands in the water of wisdom, stand up with your palms together, bow at 90 degrees, touch the fragrance of flowers with your hands, and stand up with your palms together. People who came to participate in the Buddha Bathing activity ranged from elderly people in their 70s and 80s to children as young as 78. They all lined up neatly in the Jingsi Hall. With uniform movements, the public offered lamps, candles, incense soup, and flower incense to pay homage to the Buddhas with a pure heart. They clasped their hands together and raised their heads to the sky to pray, hoping that the world would be free from disasters and that people's hearts would be purified and peaceful.

Bath the Buddha body and purify your mind. The solemn Buddha bathing ceremony slowly comes to an end amid elegant singing. Buddha’s Birthday, Mother’s Day, and Global Tzu Chi Day were celebrated together. The congregation received fruits and snacks prepared by Tzu Chi to take the festive mood home with them.
