The European Chamber Southwest Chapter is pleased to invite members and friends to participate in the Buddhist Culture Event on June 2nd. The Buddhist Culture Event will be held in Huayan Temple: Southwestern China’s biggest Buddhist Temple. A Master Monk from the temple will be making an introduction of the Buddhist Teachings in Chin with English translation. The general librarian will afterwards take the attendees for a tour around the temple and will provide guidance through the Buddhist prayer process. To conclude the immersion in the Huayan Temple’s Zen atmosphere, a vegetarian meal will be served. This trip will be a breath of fresh air away from the city’s hassle!
