On the 9th of May you are invited to join us in a celebration of Buddha Day – the festival of the Buddha’s enlightenment.
The Dublin Buddhist Centre will be taking part in this international programme throughout the weekend.
There will be a global wave of dharma practice and inspiration, from New Zealand to the Americas, so that as many people as possible can join in over nearly 24 hours.
It features meditations, talks, Q&A and pujas, led by members of the College of Public Preceptors, the international body that oversees the Triratna Buddhist Community, and friends from all around the world.
