Buddha in London

In London, that foggy, busy, chilly, Christian city, Daya Hewaviarne, manager of the Maha Bodhi Society, announced that there would soon be built a temple to Buddha, the God who squats in the stuffy temples of Asia, to whom unhurried Buddhists babble their patient prayers. This first English temple to Buddha will make no effort to attract converts but will cater to present Buddhists now resident in London. The Buddhist priests will be dressed in robes of orange color. The temple will fly the Buddhist flag. This is an emblem in six hues, blue, red, yellow, white, orange, and a combination of all five, for when Buddha discovered knowledge, under a Bo tree, he found himself surrounded by an aurora containing these bright and wonderful colors.
