To mark its 50th anniversary, the Buddhist Association of Canada has opened a museum of Buddhism in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The museum is housed in a seven-story pagoda, the association’s Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa. It houses Buddhist artifacts and memorabilia from China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Tibet, including a 7-tonne bronze Buddha statue and 2,200 8-inch Buddha statues.

The association hopes the museum will provide an opportunity for tourists and the general public to learn about Buddhist history and teachings. Two hundred people showed up for the museum’s  grand opening on June 20th, which featured an exhibition of Chinese calligraphy and paintings.

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
