This is Nityabandhu. As you probably know over the last few months we have been transforming a shop space in Krakow into a FWBO centre. I can’t claim that we have finished on time or within budget, or even that we have finished at all. But we mostly enjoyed it and have something to show for it - there will be a shrine room ready for meditation, as well as a cafe part. Therefore, I have the pleasure to invite you to the OPENING of the CENTRE. We will celebrate the efforts of many people which went into making it happen, as well as try to create through the ceremony some spiritual momentum for the future and a establish symbolically a connection with the rest of the FWBO and the entire Buddhist tradition.
The opening will be on 17 September (Wed) at 6pm in 4, Augustianska St. (Ul. Augustianska 4) in the Kazimierz district of Krakow.
The centre is near the junction of Augustianska and Dietla st (Dietla is a major Krakow artery that everybody will point you to, however there are road works at the time so you may not be able to reach us by tram).
What to expect?
- we will meditate for about 10 minutes,
- see slides from the time before the building work and during it,
- a few words from Nityabandhu,
- a few words from Urgyen Sangharakshita,
- we will enshrine some Buddhist objects in the wall and recite the Dedication ceremony.
Then there will be time to meet and talk to people, drink tea, verify the claims that the world’s best cakes are made in Poland, as well as have a look around the place.
Please let me know briefly if you are thinking of coming. Any other questions please ask.
Hope to see you there!
Nityabandhu
