Bowling Green residents consecrated the Buddhist International Temple on Saturday, coinciding with the celebration of Buddha Day.
“Buddha Day falls on April 27 but many of our members have to work that day,” Khin Maung Nyunt said.
The celebration had been scheduled for April 24 but was postponed because of rain.
“We couldn’t cancel it again,” Khin said, standing under a tent as rain poured down.
Khin said Buddhists, many of them refugees from Myanmar, have been worshiping together here since 2005. He estimates there are about 32 Buddhist families, each with four or five members.
