Partners in Dharma: Bodhi Day Event
Last year we had a wonderful time at the “Partners in Dharma” event. We shared good company and food while we discussed the ideas and requests for the community for the 2011 year.
This year, we will be sharing what we’ve discovered over the past year about our community’s unique needs and how you can help. We’ll be giving a (brief) financial report, going over the potential resources this website provides and asking you for feedback.
And, of course, we will break bread together! This year our repast is POT LUCK, and as always, the gathering is kid-friendly. Please let us know if you will be bringing something – all dishes are welcome, but vegetarian/vegan dishes are appropriate for all attendees.
Once again, we will be meeting at the Columbus Metro Library Main Branch on 96 S. Grant St, downtown. There is plenty of parking in the attached garage.
We know that not all traditions celebrate Bodhi Day. But its placement on the calendar gives us Buddhists a holiday of our own during the holiday season. Bodhi day commemorates the Buddha’s Great Awakening, or Elightenment. So What better day for us to have a celebration of our interbeing as a group of practitioners and sanghas in the Columbus area, all drawing inspiration and guidance from the Buddha’s experience that wonderful night?
Shanti,

Buddhist Network of Central Ohio (BNCO) was founded to share information, encourage collaboration, and promote mutual understanding among local Buddhists of all traditions.
