The Denver Buddhist Cultural Society, located at 2530 West Alameda Avenue, marked the beginning of the Year of the Ox last night with a free meal and celebration of the new year.
“We did hot pot,” reports the temple’s Happy Hsu, “which is similar to Japanese shabu-shabu. It was all vegetarian. We had almost 200 people; some were visitors…but mainly Buddhists were there.”
Unfortunately, Hsu tells me that the temple doesn’t have any other big plans for parties this year, so I guess I’ll have to wait until 2010 to enjoy some hot pot in a Buddhist temple. Damn.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
