SEVENTH BIENNIAL JAINA CONVENTION NEWS
Jain Center of Greater Boston to present "Jain Experience" Exhibition at JAINA Convention
by Dilip Gandhi, Boston, MA The theme and the name of the exhibition is "Jain Experience". The visitors, both Jains & non-Jains to this exhibition will feel Jainism through seeing it, listening to it and learning about it. I have been appointed the chairperson to co-ordinate & implement this project and I am very excited about this great project. Once again, we have an excellent opportunity to contribute our resources and talents for presenting different aspects of Jainism to Jains and non-Jains throughout USA and Canada.
“The Jain Experience"
Boston Jain Center planning a unique exhibition
Jain Center of Greater Boston is working to present a unique exhibition appropriately titled "Jain Experience" at the JAINA convention from July 2-4, 1993, in Pittsburgh.
JAINA requests other Jain centers and societies in North America to take a clue from Boston Jain Center's example and soon decide to plan exhibitions, cultural programs, seminars, show and tell and other meaningful activities. JAINA is planning to give an award to the best exhibition display.
To that end, we have formed an Exhibition Committee and are moving ahead with the plans and projects to be done. This is a project that will require help and efforts from many. I would like to hear from people who could help in the following areas:
