BAM is about to kick off in the Dublin Buddhist Centre! This is our main BAM page.
Below is a section of what we’ve sent our Sangha, including challenges that we are asking people to sign up for, after which they’ll be sent weekly updates and resources by ‘champions’ for each challenge!
And we also have a Padlet page where people can update everyone else on how they’re getting on with their challenge.
This is just a begining to connect with the Buddhists all over the world through the Buddhistcentre.com. This page is going to develop slowly.
