BUDDHIST new year celebrations are to be held at Kendal's United Reformed Church hall on Tuesday evening (May 29).
The festival of Vesak marks the birth, enlightenment and passing away of the Buddha.
A short "Puja" ceremony starting at 7pm will be followed by "Dana", the traditional sharing of food.
People are welcome to bring vegetarian dishes and soft drinks to share, as well as flowers, white candles and incense. For more, see buddhistgroupofkendal.co.uk
