Where can you find one of the most innovative, exciting, international FWBO projects?
At the International Order Convention in Bodhgaya earlier this year, Sangharakshita gave a name to the new Centre to be created on FWBO land there: The Three Jewels Centre. Here, Indian and international pilgrims will share access to the Dharma as taught in our Movement.
The Bodhgaya Project is a collective of individuals working together to enable the realisation of this Centre at Bodhgaya, the site of the Buddha’s Enlightenment. And it’s based here, in Manchester!
Amitaśūrī lives in the MBC’s women’s community and is on this international project team. She has agreed to host an evening at the Manchester Buddhist Centre to explain how our own sangha here has been and will continue to enable the creation of this Three Jewels Centre “just” by deepening our own practice.
This Bodhgaya evening is the official unveiling of the project to the FWBO. It will include a special screening of Amitaśūrī’s video interview with Sangharakshita talking about his experience of Bodhgaya and why he feels it important for our Movement to have a presence there. In this 15-minute interview, Bhante also explains why he initiated the purchase of land there and his vision for the Centre.
The Bodhgaya Project: an exciting Manchester initiative with global reverberations. Come and find out how you can benefit.
(This sangha night is going ahead even though it is Bank Holiday and the centre will be closed during the day)
