We would like to highlight the many different cultures and lineages that come under the umbrella of Buddhism. In order for us to achieve the aim of showing the diversity within Buddhism we would like to invite your temple to participate in any of the following:

1. Provide BCV with photos and giving BCV the permission to use the photos to produce a video and a commemorative magazine that highlights the progress of temples, devotees, images and ceremonies.
