Lobster Life Release- Sunday, July 7, 3 pm at Memorial Wharf in Edgartown (Martha’s Vineyard)

Join Trinlay Rinpoche and family, Martha’s Vineyard Bodhi Path members, and island visitors and locals for our traditional life release, during which a hundred plus lobsters ($1000.00 worth) will be carefully returned to their native habitat.

We  purchase lobsters from a local fish market, where they are kept in tanks flushed with sea water—the same waters they were caught in. They will be carefully placed in spacious boxes and transported directly to the release site, where they will be blessed by Trinlay Rinpoche and set free into the waters of the harbor. This spot is particularly deep with a running current that can carry the lobsters to freedom. Their tails are notched to alert commercial lobster fisherman to not bring these lobsters to market if caught in the future.

All are welcome!
