Buddhist Centre Open Day Sunday 21st Feb 2016

The London Diamond Way Buddhist Centre is please to invite you to our first Open Day of 2016.

Following on from the success of previous Open Days, when hundreds of our neighbours and member of the local community came to see the beautiful Beaufoy Institute, which had been inaccessible for so many years, and to find out how Diamond Way Buddhism, who bought the place in 2013, are returning it to life, we are again opening our doors.

From 11:00-18:30 on Sunday 21st February, the centre will be open to the public, with lots to see and do.

A photo exhibition on the theme “Beaufoy Past, Present & Future” will showcase the amazing history of the Beaufoy Institute, how Diamond Way volunteers have been renovating the building, and what the future holds for this special place.

The amazing meditational art of Tibetan Buddhism will be on display at the statue exhibition. Beautiful statues and thangkas (scroll paintings) belonging to the Buddhist centre or loaned by centre members will be on show all day.

At 13:00 and again at 15:00 there will be a short talk “What is Buddhism?” by a lay Diamond Way teacher.

At 14:00 and again at 16:00 there will be a guided meditation session. If you’ve ever wondered what the people sitting in the meditation hall are doing, now is your chance to find out.

From 17:00 – 18:30, there will be a special screening in connection with the London International Filmmaker Festival 2016 of the award-winning documentary film Hannah: Buddhism’s Untold Journey. The film was made right here in London by our friends Marta and Adam.

We look forward to seeing you!
