The Dalai Lama visits the House of Religions

The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism began his visit to Switzerland at the House of Religions in Bern. An integral part of the multi-purpose Europaplatz centre in Bern, designed by the architectural practice Bauart in conjunction with Urbanoffice, the House of Religions welcomes five religious communities under one roof. A Hindu temple, a mosque, a Christian chapel, a Buddhist temple and a prayer room for Alevis were created in the centre to foster intercultural dialogue and meetings between representatives of these various religious communities.
