On Sunday 9th of September 2018, the Buddhist Discussion Centre Australia held our 40th Anniversary Celebrations. The ambitious event was comprised of two parts – a Sangha Dana and Dhamma Talk in the morning and the official ceremony held in our Heavenly Dhamma Garden in the afternoon. It was the culmination of months of planning and preparations by our members.

Please find on this page a summary video of the whole day which comprises extracts from different parts of the occasion and also, some of the event segments shown in full which you can select individually.
