Berlin, Germany · 1998
The FWBO's Berlin centre — named the Buddhist Gate, Tor Buddhistische — was opened by Sangharakshita in a quick weekend visit in 1998. He gave a public talk, visited the German Romantic paintings of Friedrich and Schinkel at Charlottenburg Palace, and had dinner with twenty Order members and Mitras at a crowded Indian restaurant. It was Germany's first FWBO centre in the new capital.
