The Bodhi Tree
35th Anniversary
in words and pictures.
 

The Bodhi Tree Bookstore originated in 1970. We signed a lease in February and spent a few months remodeling, building bookshelves, and ordering books. An astrologer analyzed our situation and we choose a propitious opening date of July 10, 1970 at 2 pm.

The City of West Hollywood acknowledged our 35th Anniversary at the August 15, 2005 City Council meeting by presenting us with a commemorative city scroll and - surprise - a large birthday cake.

 
In 2005, the Bodhi Tree celebrated its Anniversary on Saturday and Sunday, August 13 and 14, with a store wide 20% discount sale along with entertainment and refreshments.
 
On Sunday, one of the featured musicians Scott August played Native American flutes in the Annex. For information about Scott August and his music, please visit his web site at www.cedarmesa.com.
 
Flautist Cynth held court in the New Book building. Along with Cynth was Bobi Jackson playing drums and Jeannie Copeland playing Tibetan bells. For more information about Cynth please visit her web site www.flutemedicine.com.
 
In the Annex, we also had refreshments as well as several tables of selected new books at half-price.
 
Our good friends from DeVorss & Co sent us a vase
of flowers that graced the refreshment table.
 
Here are some of our customers looking over the selected half-price books in the Annex.

We invited everyone to send in their stories about how the Bodhi Tree had impacted their lives. Many people responded with poignant and wonderful stories and these are collected in the folder "Anniversary Stories". The good thoughts and feelings of our patrons flows into every nook of the bookstore and along with the many pictures of saints, gurus and teachers that grace our walls, help create our uplifting and energetically alive environment. Joining in to enhance our environment is the helpful, sincere Bodhi Tree staff who invest so much of their good will, energy and intelligence.
 
To close our picture anniversary story, we show the outside of the Annex with its sale banner and flying balloons.
 

We hope you enjoy the Online Bodhi Tree Bookstore Photo Gallery.
