As people arrived they were offered lemonade and then given a free tour of the whole site, followed by a guided tour of the Temple where the symbolism was explained. There was also time to relax, enjoy the Peace Cafe, for children's activities, and then the long-awaited public talk by Gen Kelsang Chokga, Resident Teacher and National Spiritual Director of Spain.

The day concluded with a raffle and, at nightfall, the lighting of the Temple. It was wonderful to see everyone, including the children, looking at the brightly lit Temple, marvelling, taking pictures to capture the magic of the moment and grateful for the evening they had spent there, an evening that will undoubtedly remain engraved in their hearts.
