Kalpa Bhadra Buddhist Centre, 24 Rugby St, Merivale, Christchurch

5.00pm Potluck

6.00pm Movie

The Life of Buddha is a special dramatic presentation, inspired by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and his teachings, that visually captures the essence of Buddha Shakyamuni’s life. Based on the twelve principal deeds of Buddha, it reveals in a clear and moving way the essential characteristics of a spiritual life.

By watching this play again and again, we can discover the deeper levels of the spiritual message of Buddha’s life. This play will be a source of constant encouragement and inspiration in our lives. Through it we can encourage ourself to take the real meaning of our human life, and learn how we accomplish this meaning by attaining the supreme happiness of enlightenment.

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

For family and friends. No charge. Everybody is welcome
