Buddhist relics on world tour

Buddhist relics on world tour

A PRECIOUS collection of sacred Buddhist relics by renowned Buddhist master, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, is currently touring the world and will be in Malaysia in March.

The Maitreya Relics Tour will provide a rare opportunity for Malaysians of the Buddhist faith to view these relics which were found among the cremation ashes of Buddhist masters. The relics resemble beautiful, pearl-like crystals.

Buddhists believe that the relics embody the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom.

Chokyi Gyaltsen Centre (CGC) at 37-Y, Lorong Zoo 1, Air Itam in Penang will host the tour on March 12, 13 and 14 while Losang Dragpa Centre (LDC) at No 1, Jalan 17/21F Petaling Jaya in Selangor will host it on March 19, 20 and 21. Admission is free but donations are welcomed.

The exhibition’s opening ceremony at CGC is from 5pm to 7pm on March 12. After that, it is open from 10am to 7pm on March 13 and 14.

For further information, call the tour’s organising chairman Anthony Chew (012-5379389) or Dr Daniel Yeoh (012-3810622).
