Barre Center For Buddhist Studies (Bcbs) Barre, Ma.

I thought that I would share some pictures taken at BCBS back in my May when I took my wife and son to the states. BCBS is located on 90 acres of land behind the Barre Meditation Society (center) co founded by J. Kornfield. The farm is over 200 yrs old. I had not been out there in years, and got lost trying to find the place, since the facility is discreetly marked. The center has quite a history with many influential guest speakers including the Dali Lama .Lectures and retreats are held weekly. Buddhist monks and scholars come from all over the world to teach Dharma. A great place to visit if you are in the Massachusetts area.

My wife being a Thai Buddhist and used to Thai style temples was very impressed with the simplistic Zen like feel of the facility. She still talks about it. I did not take many pics of the interior, but all schools of Buddhism are represented as part of the facility's decor. Hope you enjoy!

Very nice pics, Mizzi. Thank you. Will call in when we get to the States (next couple of years - wife's brother in Ohio).

Re the typo in the heading, I think if you ask the Mods nicely they'll fix it for you.
