Drogmi Buddhist Institute practice programme during Wesak

May 2011

We are pleased to announce that our search for a new premises has resulted in the rental of a property in Ashfield. The new premises is within walking distance from Ashfield and Croydon railway stations. During this time there will be a short suspension of the regular practices to allow for the move and setup. The practice programme will recommence at the new premises in Ashfield on 5 June.

Please find below the revised practice programme at Drogmi Buddhist Institute during the month of Wesak, the most holy month in the Buddhist Calendar.

    Green Tara practice is a very good way to begin our Dharma activities at the new premises, as Green Tara is the Buddha of activity.  If you can join us on that day it would be very special.
