BAO potluck lucheon

This afternoon the Buddhist association of Oklahoma (BAO) held its' first social event, a vegetarian potluck luncheon. The luncheon was held at the Risso Kosei Kai Dharma Center, http://www.rkok-dharmacenter.org/ . There were more than twenty people attending, representing many of the area Buddhist groups. Mr. Quang Pham from Giac Quang Temple, http://www.giacquangbuddhisttemple.org/ , gave an interesting talk about New Year traditions of Vietnam. The BAO is a fairly new organization, still in the process of getting off the ground. One of the goals of BAO is to create a network of the varied Buddhist groups in Oklahoma. Today's event shows that BAO is progressing toward that goal.
