This is an important event for our Buddhist residents and visitors, and their message of peace, tranquillity and goodwill to our fellow man is one to which we should all aspire.

The London Fo Guang Temple, who are instrumental in organising this Ceremony, are locally based within Westminster and their work to bring the community together in a spirit of unity and coexistence, with respect and tolerance for each other, is a message which I am very happy to commend.

Yours sincerely,

Tim Joiner
