Spirituality and Religious Life at RIT

🙏🏔️ The Saga Dawa Festival Continues! Tibetan Buddhists celebrate the most sacred month, honoring Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana. Pilgrims circle sacred sites, make offerings, and practice generosity. Merit accumulated during this month is believed to be multiplied. A powerful time of devotion and spiritual practice. 🕉️✨

🐑🌙 Eid Mubarak! Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, honors Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. Muslims worldwide sacrifice animals, distribute meat to family, friends, and those in need, perform prayers, and gather in celebration. A time of devotion, charity, and community. 🕌✨

Today, we honor and remember the brave souls who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the cost of freedom and the importance of community, compassion, and hope.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we also pause to reflect with gratitude for those who served and never returned home.
