The Dhammatalaka Pagoda (Birmingham Buddhist Vihara )

Today I went for a walk and went past the Birmingham Buddist Vihara . Everytime I go past it it feels very serene and relaxing , and one day I will go in and find out more about it.

This is the largest Theravada Buddhist Peace Pagoda in Europe and was opened in 1998.

The name Dhamma-Talaka means "reservoir of truth", to reflect the fact that it is adjacent to the Edgbaston Reservoir.

In 2002, the Birmingham Buddhist Vihara moved to this new site from nearby carlyle road site.
