We are again offering the opportunity for our Sangha and community to purchase a virtual lantern in honor and memory of a loved one to be displayed on our TSDBT Virtual Lanterns of Obon website. Each donation will go directly to the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple. You may also use the form below to make a donation — please indicate if you would like to make a donation only by writing “N/A” in the Lantern Name(s) box.
Thank you for your meaningful contribution!
If you see a correction that needs to be made to your lantern, please e-mail
Each lantern below rests in quiet remembrance — a communal offering of gratitude for those who came before us, gathered together along the water’s edge.
As evening falls, a few lanterns loose themselves from the bank and drift gently downstream — carrying our gratitude with them, letting go so that memory might continue on, quietly, into the current.

Honor a loved one on this year’s Virtual Lantern display. Write “N/A” in the Lantern Name(s) field if you’d only like to make a donation. You will be taken to a page with donation options after you press “Submit”. Dedications will be accepted for the 2026 Obon season through August 31, 2026. We will reopen in the summer of 2027.
