The exhibition opened at Hsi Lai Temple last weekend and was an outstanding success. Thanks to Mario for the photos.

Words from Venerable Jue Wei:

The Buddha’s Birthday Education Project went live on 4/28 (8th day of 4th lunar month i.e. Chinese Buddha’s Birthday). About 900 people came through the doors of a 1,500 square feet space in a weekend. Some people returned with more friends. Many people were truly amazed with the technology of Later Zhao 1,700 years ago. Peter’s architectural design and research brought the glories of the past to life again! The triptych, silk road and timeline were simply astounding.

I want to thank all the volunteers for the time and effort that you have made to research and create/maintain your exhibits in a timely fashion.
