Buddhists in Nova Scotia. A Very very good thing!
“It began more than 20 years ago as a spiritual journey. Today, the Buddhist migration to Nova Scotia stands as one of the most significant events in the province’s history. From just a few students practising meditation in an old office space, the movement has grown to the point where it’s hard to imagine Halifax without it. And it’s all because a respected teacher suggested that his students could practise their religion and live, as he put it, ‘a decent life’ in quiet Nova Scotia. ” Rob Gordon - CBC Halifax
These are two great news items about our buddhists friends in Nova Scotia. I have to say I have met many Buddhist residing in N.S. and have liked and admired everyone that I met. Any province or state should be so blessed with the quality of people represented within the buddhist faith.
