At the LBC we celebrate a number of traditional Buddhist festivals –
for instance the Enlightenment of the Buddha. These festivals often have a strong element of collective practice,
meditation and ritual. They are an excellent way to meet and practise with others.
We also have special events such as Buddhist rituals to mark the full moon nights,
and Mandala Community Evenings – where people who regularly attend
the LBC meet with the council of trustees to discuss the direction of the centre.
