Friends from Media and Buddhistdoor international at Iftar

EVENT DETAILS

Fasting is practiced in many religious traditions and spiritual practices. We believe common traditions like fasting are important opportunities for people from different faith communities to become closer to

each other. Now, we are in the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast from the break of dawn to sunset. In this month, it is customary to invite friends, neighbors and relatives to share the fast breaking meal. We have been inviting our friends regardless of their cultural and religious background for a dinner as a humble presentation of common ground, friendship and peace.

During the dinners, we’ve got a chance to taste various dishes from the authentic Turkish cuisine, as well as the famous Turkish tea. This was not only a chance for us and our friend to meet new friends, but also an opportunity to experience a different cultural tradition at first hand.

As we have been feeling the sorrow and the happiness during our last days of the fasting, our gatherings with friends are still continuing. On 23rd of July 2014, PI (Formerly known as ACDC) hosted friends from Buddhistdoor International and some newspaper reporters from different medias.

During iftar dinner, we have had quite friendly conversations with friends from different walks of life. We had also learned the fasting tradition in Buddhism from our friends in Buddhist Faith.

It was quite informative night for us. We thanks our friends who have attended our dinner and supported the dialogue among all.
