New home for Triratna’s Liverpool Buddhist Centre

Buddhashanti writes from Triratna’s Liverpool Buddhist Centre to say -

“Dear Friends, this to let you know that we moved on Sunday 10 July to a new home in Rodney Street. Five of us - Mary, Jose, Antoinette, Lindsey and I processed up Duke Street to Rodney Street carrying our small Buddha rupa and thanka and chanting the Shakyamuni mantra. This was a good if unusual thing to do and I felt it added significance to our move rather than just walking up the hill to a higher place in Liverpool. Shaun very kindly and generously lent the van and Ian did the driving.

“Rodney Street is a very attractive and quiet location and will suit us very well. It’s located close to the city centre. It was a very busy weekend with preparing and decorating the room on Saturday and then doing the move on Sunday. We had a great time, and a long day, in getting most of the painting done and transforming the room to our needs. It does look lovely now. Everybody there really threw themselves in to the work and I want to thank everyone involved. Our new address is Liverpool Buddhist Centre, 66 Rodney Street, Liverpool, L1 9AF
