"A new initiative in Cardiff has seen members of many different faith communities join together to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid" -- Rob Osborne, ITV

Buddhists were represented at an Interfaith event on Wednesday 5th August to celebrate the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan. This was organised by a member of the Interfaith Council for Wales and was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Rhiwbina.

Ngakma Nor'dzin Pamo, Chair of the Buddhist Council of Wales attended accompanied by her husband Ngakpa 'รถ-Dzin Tridral.

It was a most extraordinary and joyous evening, with representatives from the Muslim, Baha'i, Christian, Jewish and Buddhist communities.

Ngakma Nor'dzin said: "It is wonderful to see how different faiths can come together harmoniously and share an appreciation of one-another."
