You are invited to an exhibition of sacred Buddhist relics, some donated by HH the Dalai Lama. The relics are small crystal-like objects found post-cremation in the ashes of holy beings. Gathered together by Lama Zopa Rinpoche this rare collection includes relics of the Buddha and of masters from different Buddhist traditions. The aim of the Tour is to bring people together to create the causes for world peace. Throughout the event there will be blessing ceremonies.To find out more please visit: www.maitreyaproject.org
This Project is really wonderful and is the result of great courage and determination, and from the depths of my heart I appreciate and applaud this wonderful Project. You should realise that this is a really holy and sacred Project.
- HH the Dalai Lama

Volunteers and sponsorship needed: JBCL will need the help of many willing volunteers during the hosting of the Maitreya Project Relic Tour so please do get in touch if you are able to offer service. To quote a volunteer who previously helped with the Relics: “It was one of the best weekends of my life”.
