Sanghadagen 17 november

Alla är varmt välkomna till Sanghadagen, den buddhistiska högtid då vi firar och gläds åt den andliga gemenskapen.

Denna gång är temat “Sanghans pionjärer – då och nu”. Det blir personliga berättelser om hur sanghan vuxit, från Triratnas begynnelse i Sverige på 80-talet fram till idag. Vi kommer också rikta blicken framåt, mot ett ’nytt center’ i Stockholm.

Brigitte has moved down to Austinmere on the South Coast but will still join us from time to time.
