Event - 2A's Trip to the Buddhist Society

7 June 2013

On Friday 7th June, we walked down the road to Moseley and went to visit the Birmingham Buddhist Centre.

It is a large, pale blue building that has lots of different rooms inside. A friendly man called Dave met us and told us all about the centre. He let us go and sit in the peaceful garden on the grass.

As well as this we went inside a large room, where there was a giant statue of the Buddha. However, before we could go into the room we had to take off our shoes as a sign of respect.

Inside the room, Dave told us about the story of Siddhartha. We knew lots of the information he told us because of our recent Wesak Festival.
