On Sunday, 19 March 2017 between 11.00am and 4.00pm, Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple in Maylands throws open its doors and invites you to .

Harmony Day is an initiative by the Office of Multicultural Interests to encourage 'people from diverse backgrounds to experience, explore and appreciate our wealth of cultural, religious, linguistic and ethnic diversity'. Harmony Week provides an opportunity for all Western Australians to celebrate our dynamic multicultural State and to appreciate how West Australians of many cultural backgrounds have contributed to Australia. It is no secret that the many waves of immigrants have enriched the culinary culture of this nation. It is apt that the theme of the open day is The Story of Flour.

Flour is essentially finely ground raw grains or roots and is widely used as a key ingredient of many different foods. Flour is the main component of bread; a staple for many cultures. At the open day, you will be able to listen to representatives from a number of ethnic groups tell their story of how they use flour to cook their unique traditional foods. At the conclusion of the presentation, you will have the chance to sample the mouth-watering cooking.

After partaking in the complimentary lunch provided by Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple WA, you are invited to linger for an afternoon of mindful experience at the Open Day activities. Have a quiet session of meditation; learn to savour a good cup of Chinese tea; try your hand at Chinese calligraphy or simply stay back for a friendly chat.
