Ipswich Buddhist Centre hosts upcoming Festival of Enlightenment

Triratna's Ipswich Buddhist Centre is celebrating its 25th anniversary of activities in Ipswich. It's a big year for them - and they're celebrating in style! Bodhivamsa writes with the details - and an invitation. He says - "This year is the 2600th anniversary of the Buddha's Enlightenment. If you don't think that is enough to celebrate then it is also 25 years since Triratna activities first started in Ipswich.

"So we have decided to take our double celebration to the people of Ipswich on Sunday 8th May 2011. To achieve this we have booked the town square (known locally as Cornhill), from 10am-4pm. We will be creating a sacred space on Cornhill for meditation, puja, talks, and a delicious lunch too! The town square is quite big so we are going to need some help from you if we are going to fill it. If you would like to take part, in whatever way you can, then please let us know by contacting the Centre - phone us on 01473 211516, e-mail to enquiries@ipswichbuddhistcentre.org.uk - or just turn up on the day".
