This Sunday (8 December 2024) is Bodhi Day, a Buddhist celebration of the day the historical Buddha - also known as Siddhartha Gautama, Shakyamuni Buddha - achieved enlightenment.

Free 'Bodhi Day, Symbols of Buddha' events will take place at St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art on Saturday 7 December and Sunday 8 December from 1.30-4.00pm. The fun workshops will use quilling to create wheels, lotus flowers and other symbols of Buddha.

Happy Bodhi Day to all Glasgow Life colleagues who are celebrating.
