Location

Buddhist Heritage Festival at India Habitat Centre New Delhi
India

Buddhism can encourage spirituality in a generation that has grown up on materialism and an over-emphasis on the importance of the individual rather than the collective. Thus the Global Buddhist Congregation will actively engage with young people and seek to communicate how the Dhamma can provide a healthy, happy and moral path for modern living. The Congregation aims to reach out to the youth through a Buddhist Cultural Heritage Festival that will include stage performances, film shows and art, photography and book exhibitions from various countries.
