FWBO Day in Essen, Germany
This year the celebrations will be spread over the entire weekend (31 March/1 April), because there is more than one birthday to celebrate. On Saturday we will start with Bhante's Going Forth 60 years ago. Khemasiri from Holland will give a talk on Bhante based on her pilgrimage last year to places where Bhante lived in India.
On Sunday we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of A Survey of Buddhism, Bhante's major work. Dharmapriya will talk about Bhante's thought. In the afternoon Lalitaratna will give a talk on the first forty years of the FWBO.
Each talk will be followed by a puja: on Saturday a Buddha Puja and on Sunday pujas for the Dharma and Sangha . The talks and the pujas will be in English, with the Heart Sutra in French, German, and Dutch (Translations of the talks into French, German, and Dutch will be provided.)
