Festivals
As well as running a full programme of events with Leeds Buddhist Centre, we like to get out and about in the wider Leeds and West Yorkshire community. One of the most visible ways we do this is by packing up our meditation mats and going to one of the many local festivals.
This year we have run stalls in a number of local events to fundraise for Leeds Buddhist Centre and to raise awareness about meditation and Buddhism generally.
