Jin Ze Arts Center

Buddha Mind Open Day

Buddha's birthday is celebrated on the 8th day of the 4th moon in the Lunar calendar. This year it falls on 6th of May. We dedicate this month's Open Day (17th May 2014) to Lord Buddha, and to all people who seek wisdom and happiness through spiritual development.

Aside from the boat ride, bridge walk, and visit to the weaving room, you will see a magnificent sand Mandala construction. A selection of artifacts related to Buddhism will also be displayed for the first time.

Naturally the kitchen will serve vegetarian cuisine with seasonal produce from the nearby farms. We will show you how to brew and enjoy the prefect cup of tea – an admirable way to relax and meditate.

*Buddhists and non-Buddhists are welcome. Round trip coach between People's Square and our Centre available. Click here to see a location map of the pick-up point.
