Our New Logo
The Buddhist Council of WA inc is pleased to announce our new logo which is made up of a central depiction of the historical Buddha Gautama and is flanked by the Buddhist and WA State flags. The Buddha is seated on a lotus throne and the eight rays represent the Eightfold Noble Path which is central to all the three traditions of Buddhism. The BCWA committee would like to thank all those involved in the production of this logo especially the graphic artist Haiyi Li who kindly donated her time and effort.
