Broadenba
Broaden Horizons Buddhist Association
Homage to the Guru, all Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas.
The establishment of this center was authorized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
The Shakyamuni Buddha statue at the center was brought from one of India’s eight sacred sites, located in Bodh Gaya, Nepal—the site of the Mahabodhi Temple, where the Buddha attained enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.
It is the appearance of the Buddha that has given rise to the Dharma we have today.
