Report: First 2016 Open Day

Last weekend, the London Diamond Way Buddhist Centre held the first Open Day for quite a while. We’ve been preoccupied with the renovation works, and of course with our core activity of meditation.

The ongoing renovation does render much of the building inaccessible, but there is still plenty to see of the Beaufoy Institute.

So we invited the local community in to admire the photo exhibition, the beautiful statue and scroll painting (thangka) exhibition, and take part in the lectures and guided meditation. Around fifty people dropped in over the course of their Sunday, which is a great result for a small event.

We even had the pleasure of hosting a member of the venerable Beaufoy family. The Beaufoys helped start what is now the Children’s Society, and of course founded the Beaufoy Institute itself, amongst many other charitable works.

Please enjoy these photos of the event – and subscribe to our blog to be notified of the next Open Day and other events.
