An invitation to give Order dana

From Orden i Sverige on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 09:21

Could you help? As you may know, the Order Office (including Shabda) is funded by all of us in the Order.

This means people like Parami, Lokeshvara, Vimalamati and several others rely on the generosity of every Order member worldwide for their financial support.

They work incredibly hard. But unfortunately they do not get enough money for their needs because not all Order members contribute.

They ask for KR 100 a month...

Sthanashraddha is Bhante’secretary. He writes from Adhisthana, UK:

“Finally, after many weeks of dry and often sunny weather, the grounds and gardens have been treated in the last couple of weeks to downpours of rain, misty drizzle and long gentle overnight soakings. The rock-hard lumps of clay earth are softening again. We’ve also seen this month second broods of moorhens hatching - tiny, little, black golfball-sized fluff, chirruping and calling for their mothers.

A Cool Thing

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 9 Aug, 2017 - 02:01

Wherever the one rain reaches all become fresh and glossy according as their bodies, forms and natures are. Great or small, so the enriching rain though it is one the same makes each of them flourish

The Buddha - Parable of the Rain Cloud

Something that’s always had strong appeal for me is The Buddha’s teaching that his dharma, the truth he realised and shared, will cause each one of us to grow into a unique expression of our potentiality: no Buddha clones!
