Buddha Day round-up

by lokabandhu, 14/06/2013 10:11

Buddha Day 2013 has come and gone, with celebrations of the Buddha's Enlightenment around the Triratna Buddhist Community - many of them recorded in one form or another on The Buddhist Centre Online. Click here for a round-up of what we know about!

The next Festival in Triratna's calendar will be Dharma Day, celebrating the Buddha's Turning of the Wheel of the Dharma - traditionally two full moons after his Enlightenment and therefore on the Full Moon of July. To prepare for it, why not read Sangharakshita's 'What is the Dharma?', available from Windhorse Publications or all good bookshops.
